Night Moves is an album by American rock band Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band, released in 1976 (see 1976 in music).

The album received immediate critical praise; the Rolling Stone reviewer said that, "If there is any grace in heaven, Night Moves will give Bob Seger the national following which has long eluded him." [1] Propelled by the title song, which became a Top 10 hit single, and additional strong material, the album did just that.
