Don't Be Afraid of Love is a 2002 album by Lo Fidelity Allstars. In contrast to the group's debut, How To Operate With A Blown Mind, Don't Be Afraid of Love is more centered on catchy vocal melodies and radio-friendly song structure, though the style of music is still heavily steeped in strong break beats and funky basslines.

The album received enthusiastic reviews from music critics.

In 2001, the single "Lo Fi's in Ibiza" was featured in the PlayStation 2 video game Frequency.
