"I Wouldn't Want to Live If You Didn't Love Me" is a song written by Al Turney, and recorded by American country music artist Don Williams. It was released in June 1974 as the first single from the album Don Williams Vol. III. The song was Williams' sixth release as a solo artist and his first of twenty-one number ones on the country singles chart in Billboard Magazine.

The song also became the first No. 1 hit for producer Allen Reynolds. In the years since, Reynolds produced many No. 1 hits for artists like Crystal Gayle, Dickey Lee, Kathy Mattea and The O'Kanes, but during the 1990s became most associated with producing the hits of Garth Brooks.
