Verge of Love (ヴァージ・オブ・ラヴ, Vāji obu Ravu) is the eighth studio album by Japanese pop singer Yōko Oginome. Released through Victor Entertainment on December 17, 1988, it was Oginome's first English-language album. The album was produced by Narada Michael Walden, who co-wrote the songs with Walter Afanasieff, Jeffrey Cohen, Joyce Imbesi, and Preston Glass. No singles from the album were released, but "Passages of Time" was re-recorded as a single in 1993. Verge of Love was reissued on April 21, 2010, with two bonus tracks as part of Oginome's 25th anniversary celebration.
