Chicago by Night is a tabletop role-playing game supplement originally released by White Wolf Publishing in 1991 for use with the first edition of their game Vampire: The Masquerade, and released in updated versions for the game's second and fifth editions in 1993 and 2020. As a sandbox-style setting sourcebook for storytellers[a] to use in campaigns, Chicago by Night describes the city of Chicago as it is portrayed within the game's setting, reinterpreted as having a large population of vampires.
The supplement was originally developed by Andrew Greenberg and Mark Rein-Hagen; Greenberg returned to develop the second edition, and Matthew Dawkins developed the third, which was released by Onyx Path Publishing. Chicago by Night was well received by players and critics, who considered it among the best Vampire: The Masquerade books, and among the best role-playing game settings. Its style and format were influential on later role-playing games and supplements, and it was followed by a series of By Night books for other cities.
