A Spy in the House of Love is a compilation album by the British alternative rock band The House of Love. It was released in late 1990, between the release of the band's second and third albums ( Fontana and Babe Rainbow) and compiles various B-sides and other unreleased studio tracks from the period. The B-sides are from their second self-titled album-era.

Like the band itself, the album was named after the 1954 novel by Anaïs Nin.

The track "Marble" was released as a promotional single in the United States.
