"Latitude 88 North" is a song by Electric Light Orchestra and was released as the third bonus track on the 2007 remastered version of their 1977 album Out of the Blue. The song was written in 1977, but existed only as a demo recording of the chorus. Jeff Lynne returned to the song and finished it in preparation for the remastered version of Out of the Blue.

On February 6, 2007, "Latitude 88 North" was released as a promotional download on the iTunes Store and in a limited 7" format. The song was the band's second single released on iTunes, following "Surrender" in 2006.

Although both download only singles, current UK legislation means that both Surrender, and Latitude 88 North were presented for radio airplay in a CD format . These promo only CDs are already highly sought after collectors items.
