Night and Day is the fifth studio album by English musician Joe Jackson, released on 25 June 1982 by A&M Records.[10][11] It reached the top five in both the United Kingdom and United States, Jackson's only studio album to do so in either country.[11] The album has been certified gold in the UK and US, and achieved platinum status in Canada. It has sold over one million copies.[11]

The album pays tribute to the wit and style of Cole Porter (and indirectly to New York City).[11] The track "Real Men" pointed obliquely to the city's early-1980s gay culture.[12]

"Steppin' Out" earned Grammy Award nominations for Record of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Performance, Male.[13] It reached number 6 on both the UK and the US charts. "Breaking Us in Two" reached number 18 in the US and number 59 in the UK.[11][14]

Jackson released a sequel to the album entitled Night and Day II in October 2000.
