Midnight Sun is the fifth and final studio album by Redgum, released through Epic Records in November 1986.
John Schumann had left the group in 1985 to pursue a solo career, so Hugh McDonald took over as lead singer. Michael Atkinson left the group in 1987 after its release; the remaining members toured until 1990 to pay off the band's debts, and then disbanded.
