A one-night stand is either a non-recurring theatrical performance or a sexual encounter lasting one night.

One-night stand may also refer to:

One-night stand

A one-night stand is a single sexual encounter without an expectation of further relations between the sexual participants. This is regardless of whether a single encounter was originally intended by either participant to be a one-night stand, or whether further relations between the participants subsequently occur. Critics of the practice describe it as "sexual activity without emotional commitment or future involvement".
