"Stand Up for Love" is a song recorded by American group Destiny's Child for their first greatest hits album #1's (2005). It was written by Amy Foster-Gillies and David Foster, with the latter also serving as the producer alongside Humberto Gatica. Musically, the track is a mid-tempo ballad drawing influences from adult contemporary, pop and R&B. Inspired by poverty-stricken children and families, the song was termed the "2005 World Children's Day Anthem", and used in conjunction with Ronald McDonald House Charities to raise awareness of the day. "Stand Up for Love" was released as the lead single from #1's on September 26, 2005, by Columbia Records and Sony Urban Music.

Upon its release, "Stand Up for Love" received negative reviews from music critics, who criticized its composition and inclusion on #1's. Initially, the song was the group's only single not to enter any record charts; however, it peaked at number 37 in South Korea in 2014. The accompanying music video for the song, directed by Matthew Rolston, featured the trio singing the song against a backdrop displaying videos of children. Destiny's Child performed "Stand Up for Love" on several occasions after its release; it was the final single released before the group's disbandment in 2006. Since then, several artists have covered the song.
