"Tango in the Night" is a song by British-American band Fleetwood Mac from their album of the same name. Although "Tango in the Night" was never released as a single, it still reached #28 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart. However, the title track was heavily overshadowed by Tango in the Night's hit singles, including "Seven Wonders" and "Little Lies.

"Tango in the Night", along with "Big Love" and "Caroline" were all initially slated to appear on Buckingham's third solo album. He instead opted to use these songs for Fleetwood Mac's next album. The song is very percussive in nature, with tinkering xylophones, tambourines, and various latin percussion scattered throughout. While the track's musical arrangement was completed before the Tango sessions, the lyrics had yet to be developed. The verses in particular featured radically different lyrics. Additionally, the trembling vocal part heard at the end of every chorus was eventually incorporated into another Buckingham penned song, "Caroline". All of this can be heard on the alternate take included on the Deluxe Edition of Tango in the Night.
