Spend the Night is the fifth studio album and major label debut by the American hard rock band the Donnas, released in 2002 on Atlantic Records. It was the band's first charting record on the Billboard 200, peaking at number 62, and features their most successful single, "Take It Off", which peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart[12] and the top 40 of the UK Singles Chart.[13]

In November 2016, Cherry Red Records re-released the album to feature six bonus tracks, which consists of B-sides and songs from previous albums.
