Strangers in the Night is a live rock album by the hard rock band UFO, first released in 1979 (see 1979 in music) on the Chrysalis label. The album was recorded at a show in Chicago, Illinois. This was UFO's last recording with guitarist Michael Schenker before the band's reunion in 1993. Schenker departed the band immediately after the tour ended and it has been rumored that he refused to record any overdubs for the album, which would make this an accurate account of his live guitar work.

Strangers in the Night peaked at #8 on the UK charts and #42 on the US charts. Strangers is generally considered by critics to be one of the best live rock albums of all time.
