Strangers In The Night is a 1966 (see 1966 in music) album by Frank Sinatra.

The album marked Sinatra's return to #1 on the pop album charts in the mid-1960s, and it consolidated the comeback he started in 1966. Combining pop hits with show tunes and standards, the album creates a balance between big band and pop instrumentation. The single "Strangers in the Night" also reached #1 on the pop single charts, while "Summer Wind" would slowly become a classic, used for television commercials and mood-setting entrances by the 2000s.

Sinatra garnered three Grammy Awards for his efforts, including the Album of the Year and Record of the Year for "Strangers in the Night", as well as Best Male Vocal Performance for the same song.

This is the final album Sinatra performed with long-time arranger/conductor Nelson Riddle and his orchestra.

Strangers in the Night has been certified platinum for 1 million copies sold in the U.S. It is the only "regular" Sinatra album to achieve this mark (the others to do so have been greatest hits/compilation albums, Christmas albums, or the end-of-career "Duets" albums).
