Tonight's the Night is the debut album by American girl group the Shirelles, released in December 1960 by Scepter Records.

In 2022, the album was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry.

Later on in 1963, "Unlucky" was covered by Dionne Warwick for her debut album.

"Boys", which had been the B-side of "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" and a regional hit on its original release, became better known after it was covered by the Beatles on their debut album Please Please Me in 1963.

In his retrospective review of the release, Richie Unterberger for AllMusic wrote "For the most part, even more so than some other Shirelles' long-players, the LP evokes a bygone era when innocuous young love and its accompanying hurts were the centers of many teenagers' universes, fretted over with the detailed seriousness of international diplomacy.
