Mr. Moonlight is the eighth studio album by American rock band Foreigner that was originally released in Japan in 1994, and later released in the United States in 1995. The album was the first full-length release with original singer Lou Gramm since 1987's Inside Information. (Gramm had left the band in 1990, but re-joined in 1992.) Prior to recording this album, Gramm also sang lead on three newly recorded tracks on Foreigner's 1992 best-of compilation.

This was also the group's first album in 15 years without longtime members Rick Wills (who joined the band in 1979) and Dennis Elliott (who was a founding member). To date, this is Foreigner's final studio release with Gramm, and it was the band's final studio release in the 20th century. A track entitled "Crash and Burn" was also featured as a bonus track on the Japanese release.
