Dark Night of the Soul (Spanish: La noche oscura del alma) is a treatise written by Spanish poet and Roman Catholic mystic Saint John of the Cross. It has become an expression used to describe a phase in a person's spiritual life, a metaphor for a certain loneliness and desolation. It is referenced by spiritual traditions throughout the world.

Author and humorist Douglas Adams satirized the phrase in the title of his 1988 Science Fiction novel, The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul.
It is also been used as a song title by several bands and music artists, including Steve Bell, Loreena McKennitt, The Get Up Kids, Mayhem and by CHH artist shai linne in the Solus Christus project.
Bill Murray's character in the movie Groundhog Day makes a reference to "Dark Night of the Soul".
