Loveland is the second solo album by English musician John Sykes, released on 25 July 1997.
The record was originally pitched to Sykes as a seven-track extended play of ballads by the Japanese branch of Mercury Records. As he was working on it, Sykes suggested expanding the project into a full-length album as he still had some songs left over. The track "Don't Hurt Me This Way" is a re-recording of Sykes' 1982 single "Please Don't Leave Me", which features late Thin Lizzy frontman Phil Lynott.
The album reached number 13 on the Japanese charts.
