"Lady of the Night" is the debut studio album by American singer Donna Summer, released in the Netherlands on February 26, 1974, by Groovy Records.

The album was released only in the Netherlands, and spawned the minor hit singles "The Hostage" and "Lady of the Night" in that country. The first single, "The Hostage", entered the top three charts in Belgium and Spain, and the second single, "Lady of the Night", was also a success, hitting the top ten also in Austria. The album itself failed to chart.

Donna Adrian Gaines (December 31, 1948 – May 17, 2012), known professionally as Donna Summer, was an American singer and songwriter. She gained prominence during the disco era of the 1970s and became known as the "Queen of Disco", while her music gained a global following.

In 1968, she joined a German adaptation of the musical "Hair" in Munich, where she spent several years living, acting, and singing. There, she met music producers Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, and they went on to record influential disco hits together such as "Love to Love You Baby" and "I Feel Love", marking Summer's breakthrough into international music markets.

She returned to the United States in 1976, and more hits such as "Last Dance", her version of "MacArthur Park", "Heaven Knows", "Hot Stuff", "Bad Girls", "Dim All the Lights", "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)" with Barbra Streisand, and "On the Radio" followed.
