"True Devotion" is a song by English singer Samantha Fox from her eponymous second studio album (1987). It was released in December 1987 as the album's fourth single. The song was written by Lol Mason and Mark Shreeve, and produced by Steve Lovell and Steve Power.

The single includes two B-sides: the previously unreleased song "Even in the Darkest Hours" (originally recorded by Belfast punks Ruefrex) and "Fox Hunt Mix", which is a remix of Fox's previous singles "I Surrender (To the Spirit of the Night)" and "Touch Me (I Want Your Body)". The CD single also features "Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now" as a B-side. It was her first single to be released on CD.

The song failed to match the success of its predecessors in Europe and performed moderately on the charts. The single peaked at number 62 in the United Kingdom and number 32 in Germany.
