Mississippi Nights was a music club in St. Louis, Missouri. It opened on October 11, 1976[2] and was located at 914 N 1st Street, on the western bank of the Mississippi River, four blocks north of the Gateway Arch in Laclede's Landing.

Concerts at the venue, which held up to 1,000 people, were often "all ages" events,[1] with just over one percent restricted to patrons 21 and over.[citation needed]

The club is the subject of a song on the album Venue Songs by They Might Be Giants. George Thorogood & the Destroyers' album Live: Let's Work Together features tracks recorded at Mississippi Nights.
