Tonight: Franz Ferdinand (also known simply as Tonight) is the third studio album by Scottish indie rock band Franz Ferdinand. It was released on 26 January 2009 through Domino Records in the UK and Epic Records in the US. It is the band's first studio album since You Could Have It So Much Better, which was released on 3 October 2005, roughly three and a half years earlier. The album was recorded in a span of two years at Mr. Dan's Studio in Buckeye, Arizona and the old town hall of Govan, Scotland. It has been described as a concept album loosely based around a night of partying and the morning effects after. The album has more of a dance-oriented sound, featuring styles of dance-punk, new wave, and electropop, marking a departure from the band's post-punk sound, which was featured on their past two albums.

Upon release, the album received generally favourable reviews from music critics and had a positive commercial performance, peaking at number two on the UK Albums Chart, number nine on the US Billboard 200, and charting in the top ten in several other countries. Five official singles have been released from the album: "Lucid Dreams", "Ulysses", "No You Girls", "Can't Stop Feeling", and "What She Came For". A remix album, titled Blood, was released on 1 June 2009 and contains dub remixes of most songs from Tonight.
