Waitin' for the Night is the third studio album by American all-female rock band the Runaways. It was released on October 7, 1977, on the Mercury label. This is the band's first album to be recorded without Cherie Currie as she left the group two months before the album's release to pursue a solo career. Instead of replacing her with a new member, rhythm guitarist Joan Jett took over lead vocals and the band continued as a quartet. It is also their first to feature bassist Vicki Blue, replacing Jackie Fox. Though it failed to chart in the US, it was successful in Europe. The album entered at No. 34 on the Swedish Albums Chart, and the lead single 'School Days' peaked at No. 29 in Belgium.
