"When You Say Nothing at All" is the debut solo single by Irish singer-songwriter Ronan Keating. The song was recorded in 1999 for the soundtrack of the film Notting Hill. It also appeared on Keating's debut solo album, Ronan. The song was released on July 26, 1999 in the United Kingdom. It peaked at number-one in the UK, Ireland, and New Zealand. In the UK, the single was certified gold. Keating has received a lot of bad press in recent years passing off the song as his own work when he, in fact, covered the original.

The Italian-Brazilian singer Deborah Blando recorded "When You Say Nothing at All" in English and Portuguese for the Brazilian version. The single reached the top 10 in the Latin charts. In 2003, Keating re-recorded the song as a duet with Mexican singer Paulina Rubio, which was released in Mexico and Latin America to promote Keating's second studio album, Destination.
