Don't Call It Love is a 1923 American silent romantic comedy film directed by William C. deMille and written by Clara Beranger and Julian Street based upon the play Rita Coventry by Hubert Osborne.

The film stars Agnes Ayres, Jack Holt, Nita Naldi, Theodore Kosloff, Rod La Rocque, and Robert Edeson.

[2][3] As described in a film magazine review,[4] vampish opera diva Rita Coventry is attracted to wealthy New Yorker Richard Parrish and determines to add him to her long list of admirers, much to the annoyance of her conductor Luigi Busini, who is jealous of the many loves of his star.

While the two are at Atlantic City, Rita promptly forgets his presence when Patrick Delaney, a young piano tuner, plays one of his compositions to her.

Meanwhile Alice Meldrum, an unassuming young woman who really loves Richard, hears of his infatuation.
