"(There's a) Fire in the Night" is a song made famous by the country music band Alabama. The song was released in 1984 as the fourth track from the band's fifth album, Roll On, and became the group's 15th straight No. 1 single on the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles chart in January 1985.

A video of the song has aired on The Nashville Network, CMT and Great American Country. It is not the original video, however. The original video, released in 1984, featured partial nudity and what writer Edward Morris described as a "bizarre plot." Alabama decided the video was not family-friendly and, with the help of their management, had RCA Records withdraw the original video from circulation.^[1]
