1100 Bel Air Place is a concept album of love songs largely composed by Albert Hammond, and performed by Spanish singer Julio Iglesias, released on 10 August 1984 by CBS Records internationally and by Columbia Records in the United States. It was the first of Iglesias' albums to be performed largely in English, and it is generally considered his breakthrough album in English-speaking markets.

The album features Iglesias' only US top-40 singles, "To All the Girls I've Loved Before", with Willie Nelson, and "All of You" with Diana Ross. The Beach Boys performed backing vocals on "The Air That I Breathe", a song from Albert Hammond's 1972 album It Never Rains in Southern California, which was also a major hit for the British band the Hollies in 1974. The album also features a re-working of Hammond's song "It Never Rains in Southern California", with new lyrics by Carole Bayer Sager and re-titled "Moonlight Lady", with an interpolation of the original song as an uncredited reprise at the track's conclusion.

The album's title is the address, 1100 Bel Air Place—Iglesias' former home in Los Angeles, which was owned by music producer Quincy Jones until September 2005.34°05′39″N 118°26′40.5″W / 34.09417°N 118.444583°W / 34.09417; -118.444583[2]
