Midnight In San Juan is an album by British blues rock musician Danny Kirwan, who was a member of Fleetwood Mac from 1968-72. Released in 1976 (see 1976 in music), this was his second of three solo albums with the DJM Records label.

This album was released in the USA and Canada in May 1977 under the title "Danny Kirwan" with a different sleeve (front and back) and a biography / review written by Michael Hogan. The recorded material is identical to the UK release. It has been released for the first time on CD, only in Japan, in February 2006.

Apart from the self-penned tracks, Kirwan includes a reggae-style cover of The Beatles' "Let It Be", which was a single in the States. The other single from this album was "Misty River", and another cover version was "Look Around You", written by Dave Walker, himself an ex-Fleetwood Mac member.
