Midnight Radio is the second studio album by Big Head Todd and the Monsters that was released in 1990.

The album was released on the band's own label, Big Records, which released their debut album Another Mayberry. Artwork for the album was created by Chris Mars of The Replacements. Songs from the album, including an earlier version of their hit "Bittersweet", were recorded at live shows, sound checks, and basement jam sessions.[1]

After the success of Sister Sweetly, Warner Bros. Records re-released Midnight Radio in 1994.
