"Sports Tonight" is a sports information program shown on Network Ten in Australia. The program is broadcast on Monday-Thursday at 10.30pm (combined with Ten Late News), Friday at 12.00am and Saturday and Sunday at 5.30pm. The program provides up-to-date sports scores and team and player information for all codes of football and different sports across Australia.

The show has been running since 1993. From 1993 until 2005, the show ran for half an hour on each weeknight after Ten Late News. The two shows merged in 2006, however there was some criticism by viewers that Sports Tonight was not long enough, and that it should have remained the same.

The show is currently branded as "Toyota Sports Tonight". In late 2006, the show was sponsored by Toyota and its upcoming Toyota Aurion, although only minor modifications were done to the on-air graphics to match those of the Aurion colours. In early 2007, the graphics were updated with a heavily sponsored on-air look.

Sports Tonight is aired on Fridays as a separate program.
