Midnight Sun is an album by jazz saxophonist Lou Donaldson recorded for the Blue Note label in 1960 (but not released until two decades later) and performed by Donaldson with Horace Parlan, George Tucker, Al Harewood, and Ray Barretto.[2]

The album was awarded 3 stars in an Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine who states "Midnight Sun is as strong as any of the hard bop records Donaldson released in the early '60s. Part of the reason the quality is so high is the fact his supporting quartet is so strong... Any dedicated Donaldson fan should search for this record; even if it doesn't reach the heights of Blues Walk and Here 'Tis, it still has plenty of fine music.[3]
