"The Rhythm of the Night" is a song by Italian Eurodance group Corona. It was released as their debut single in 1993 in Italy, then elsewhere the following year. The song is the title track of the group's debut studio album of the same name (1995), and was written by Francesco Bontempi, Annerley Emma Gordon, Giorgio Spagna, Pete Glenister and Mike Gaffey. It was produced by Bontempi, and the vocals were performed by Italian singer Giovanna Bersola (a.k.a. Jenny B), who is not credited on the single and does not appear in the music video due to her stage fright. The woman who appears in the video is the group's frontwoman Olga Souza. The video features her performing in an amusement park and was A-listed on Music TV-channels, such as Germany's VIVA.

"The Rhythm of the Night" was a worldwide hit in 1994, peaking at number-one in Italy, and within the top five in most of Europe, while in the US, it fell short of the top ten, reaching number eleven on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the Cash Box Top 100. In 2022 and 2025, "The Rhythm of the Night" was ranked among the best dance songs of all time by Rolling Stone and Billboard magazine.
