"Walk Away from Love" is a 1975 song recorded by American singer David Ruffin. The million-selling single, produced by Van McCoy and written by Charles Kipps, was number one on the US R&B Singles Chart for one week in early 1976, and crossed over to #9 on the Pop Charts.

"Walk Away From Love" was Ruffin's only number-one R&B hit, and only one of two Top 10 pop hits for Ruffin on the Billboard Hot 100, the other being My Whole World Ended (The Moment You Left Me), which also peaked at #9.[1] The song was his only solo entry into the UK Charts, where it was a Top Ten hit as well, and peaked at #10 in early 1976. The backing vocals were performed by the disco group Faith, Hope & Charity.[2]
