"East of Midnight" is Canadian singer Gordon Lightfoot's 17th original album, released in 1986 on the Warner Bros. Records label. The album reached #166 on the Billboard 200.

Lightfoot enlisted keyboardist and producer David Foster on an album that is the biggest deviation from Lightfoot's traditional sound.
