"Still of the Night" is a song by English rock band Whitesnake from their seventh studio album, 1987. It was released on 2 March 1987, by EMI Records and Geffen Records as the album's debut single. The single peaked at number sixteen on the UK Singles Chart, number seventy-nine on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number eighteen on the Mainstream Rock chart. The song, described as the group's epitome of the hair metal era, is known for its heavy riffs, and dynamic structure. Still of the Night has since become one of the band's signature songs.
