A Love wave is a type of seismic wave that is a transverse wave. It moves horizontally and is characterized by its motion perpendicular to the direction of the wave's travel. These waves only travel through the Earth's crust and are not found in the Earth's mantle. They are slower than primary waves (P-waves) but faster than secondary waves (S-waves). Love waves are named after the British scientist A.E.H. Love who first described them in the early 20th century.

The third general type of earthquake wave is called a surface wave, reason being is that its motion is restricted to near the ground surface. Such waves correspond to ripples of water that travel across a lake. Surface waves in earthquakes can be divided into two types. The first is called a Love wave.
