Night of the Blade is the second studio album released by the British heavy metal band Tokyo Blade on Powerstation Records in 1984. It is the first Tokyo Blade album with Vicki James Wright (Vic Wright) on vocals. He replaced Alan Marsh when the vocal tracks for the album were already completed, forcing him to re-record the lead vocals in a very short time. Marsh's backing vocals remain on the album. The original vocal recordings by Alan Marsh were released in 1998 in the album re-issue Night of the Blade... The Night Before.

The album was also remastered and reissued in 1997, along with the album Tokyo Blade, by High Vaultage Records, the reissue edition containing the tracks of two EPs produced by the band in 1984 and 1985.
