If I Don't Stay the Night is the second studio album by American country music artist Mindy McCready, released on November 4, 1997, under BNA Records. Following the commercial success of her debut studio album Ten Thousand Angels (1996), McCready returned work with producer David Malloy for this album.

Commercially, the album was a commercial success, debuting at number 12 on the US Top Country Albums chart and becoming certified Gold by the RIAA, despite not spawning a top ten single at country radio. Four official singles were released in total, including the UK-exclusive "Oh Romeo"; the highest-charting of the three officially released to country radio was "You'll Never Know" which hit number 19 on the US Hot Country Songs chart. The album has sold over 825,000 copies in total. This is McCready's last album to spawn a top-forty country radio hit.
