Libby Titus (born Libby Jurist on July 6, 1947 in Woodstock, NY) is a singer, songwriter and concert producer. Although she released several solo albums in the 1970s and '80s, she is best known as the co-writer, with Eric Kaz, of "Love Has No Pride", a song recorded by many artists including Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt and Jane Monheit.

She is currently married to musician Donald Fagen. She has two children: author Ezra Titus, from her marriage; and musician/singer Amy Helm, from her relationship to Levon Helm of "The Band" fame. She has co-written songs with Fagen and performed with Dr. John the Night Tripper on an album of children's songs. During the 1980's she performed and collaborated on songs with Burt Bacharach.

Titus' celebrated beauty and colorful life have inspired at least two well-known recordings: Carly Simon's tune, "Libby" (1976) and Dr. John's piano composition, "Pretty Libby" (1982).
