Mr. Moonlight is the eighth studio album by British-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 the first studio 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 was Foreigner's final album with Gramm, and was the band's final album until 2009's Can't Slow Down (Foreigner album). A track entitled "Crash and Burn" was also featured as a bonus track on the Japanese release.
