"Black Night" is a song by English hard rock band Deep Purple, released as a single in June 1970 and later included on the 25th Anniversary version of their 1970 studio album, Deep Purple in Rock. It became a hit in August 1970 following the succes of that album, peaking at No. 1 on UK New Musical Express and Melody Maker charts, while reaching No. 2 on the Official UK Singles charts, and remains Deep Purple's highest charting UK single. It also topped the charts in Switzerland, and is one of only two singles from the band to chart in Ireland, peaking at No. 4, thus making it the group's only Irish Top 10 hit.
