"You Ain't Livin' till You're Lovin'" is a 1968 single released on the Tamla-Motown label by Motown vocal duo Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.

The song gave the duo a boost in the UK where the single was released. Motown's stateside headquarters issued the song as the b-side to the hit "Keep On Lovin' Me Honey". The song eventually reached the top thirty of the UK Top 50 peaking at number twenty-one there.

It was the fourth and final release from the duo's best-selling album You're All I Need and was later covered by Diana Ross and the Supremes and The Marvelettes.
