"Tonight, Tonight" is a song by American alternative rock band the Smashing Pumpkins, written by the band's frontman, Billy Corgan. It was the fourth single and second track on their third album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, and was released in May 1996 in Europe. "Tonight, Tonight" was critically acclaimed and commercially well-received upon its release, reaching number one in Iceland, number two in New Zealand, number seven in the United Kingdom and number 36 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The music video accompanying the song was also successful and won several awards.

A shorter acoustic version of the song, "Tonite Reprise", was included as a B-side to the single and on the original triple LP version of Mellon Collie. This single also later appeared in an extended form on the box set The Aeroplane Flies High.[4] Additionally, the song appears on the band's greatest hits release, Rotten Apples.[5] Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) used the song in their closing montage for the 2010 Stanley Cup Playoffs and ITV used the song in their montage for the 2012 Euros.
