"Tonight" is a song from the 1957 musical West Side Story. The music was composed by Leonard Bernstein, and the lyrics were written by Stephen Sondheim. The song was first published in 1956. Originally the song for the balcony scene was to have been "One Hand, One Heart". It was felt that this song was too innocent for two teenagers in love, and so it was decided to take this tune, which hitherto only existed as the overarching phrase from the "Tonight Quintet" and use it as the tune for the balcony scene.

In the original 1957 Broadway production of West Side Story, "Tonight" was performed by Larry Kert and Carol Lawrence in the roles of Tony and Maria. In the 1961 film adaptation of the musical, the song was performed by Marni Nixon (dubbing Natalie Wood as Maria) and Jimmy Bryant (dubbing Richard Beymer as Tony). This rendition of the song is listed at number 59 on AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema. In the 2021 film adaptation, it was performed by Rachel Zegler as Maria and Ansel Elgort as Tony, and was released as a digital download single of the film's soundtrack album on December 1, 2021.
