The Goddess of Love (Italian: La Venere di Cheronea, French: Aphrodite, déesse de l'amour), also known as Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, is a 1957 Italian-French epic adventure film directed by Fernando Cerchio and Viktor Tourjansky, and starring Belinda Lee, Massimo Girotti, and Jacques Sernas.

Luciano, captain of the Macedonian Army, gets wounded in action and is rescued by Iride, a model of extraordinary beauty who poses for the sculptor Prassitele.

Until that point, Prassitele had only considered Iride a model who he used for inspiration to create the statue of Aphrodite, but now he too feels passionately about the young woman.

In December 1960, a heavily cut dubbed version of the film was released in the United States by 20th Century Fox.

A different and more faithful dubbed version, with Belinda Lee self-dubbing herself, was released in UK and Eire in 1961.
