A Man Without Love was the British entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1966, performed in English by Kenneth McKellar.

The song is a ballad, with McKellar comparing a man without love and a man with love. He explains that a man without love is only half a man, this nothing, and a man "with love is everything in life.
