"Last Night" is a song written by John Byron, Ashley Gorley, Jacob Kasher Hindlin, and Ryan Vojtesak. It was recorded by American country music singer Morgan Wallen, the third single from his 2023 album One Thing at a Time.{{cite web | url=https://www.allaccess.com/top40-mainstream/cool-new-music | title=Login to All Access | Breaking Radio News and Free New Music }} The song peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot Country Songs in February 2023.

For the week ending March 18, 2023, "Last Night" reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100, a first for Wallen. The last country song to reach the top spot was "All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)" by Taylor Swift in 2021, and the last time a solo male artist did so was in 1981, with the song "I Love a Rainy Night" by Eddie Rabbitt. It spent 16 non-consecutive weeks at the top, the second most for a non-collaboration and tied for the third most of all time. According to Billboard, the song was the number one single for 2023, the third such single to have also hit number one on the Billboard country chart since 1959. The song was nominated for Best Country Song at the 66th Grammy Awards.
