"Night Time Lover" is the second single by American singer La Toya Jackson, from her self-titled debut. The track was produced by her brother Michael, who provides background vocals on the chorus.

Despite her brother's help, the song peaked at #59 on the Billboard R&B charts. In La Toya's 1991 autobiography, La Toya: Growing up in the Jackson Family, she claims that Michael purposely changed production at the last minute to make sure that it wouldn't be a big hit and overshadow the success of his album Off The Wall. Said mix of the song is rumoured to appear in the Jackson family auction in Las Vegas as item 553 "Night Time Lover Monitor Mix 2-12-80" [1].

The track "Lovely Is She" (also on the album) was on the B-side of the single.
