"Saturday Night"" was a 1984 single from Australian rock band Cold Chisel, the second released from the album "Twentieth Century" and the first to be issued after the band's official break-up. The song is a picture of late-night city life written by organist Don Walker based on his observations of Sydney's Kings Cross district. The track features ambient noise recorded in Darlinghurst Road, including the sound of motorbikes, strip club spruikers and crowds of drunks. The vocals are shared between Ian Moss and Jimmy Barnes.

A video clip for the track was filmed in Kings Cross in February 1984, three months after the group disbanded. Part of the clip features Moss and Barnes mingling with the participants of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. Other sections of the clip showing the band members (minus Barnes) moving through the crowd of the Darlinghurst Road red light district.

In 2007, Grinspoon covered "Saturday Night" for the tribute album "Standing on the Outside".
