"The District Sleeps Alone Tonight" is a song by the electronic music band The Postal Service, the second single from their debut album, Give Up, released July 8, 2003 on Sub Pop Records.

The single included a cover of "Suddenly Everything Has Changed" by The Flaming Lips, and two remixed tracks.

Gibbard's girlfriend at the time had recently relocated to the area, and the song was inspired by an evening spent reconnecting when he visited on tour.

In 2013, Hrishikesh Hirway had an idea for a podcast, and asked his friend and Postal Service band member Jimmy Tamborello if he could record an interview him about "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight" to test the concept.
