You didn't mention your current nationality so I'm assuming you are a visa required national to the UK.

Yes, you will need to apply for a visa. If you had a Stamp 4 EUFAM and travelling with your EU citizen spouse you wouldn't need to apply for a UK visa.

You need a visa.

Only Stamp 4EUFAM can travel without a visa if they are accompanied by their spouse.

There are clear examples:

For example, a non-EEA spouse of a German national living in Germany will usually hold a residence permit issued under German domestic law. Therefore, a United Kingdom EEA family permit is required for travel and entry to the UK.

A non-EEA spouse of a German national living and working in France will usually hold a residence card issued by the French authorities under EU law. Therefore a United Kingdom issued EEA family permit is not required for travel and entry to the UK.
