Midnight Angel is the fifth solo studio album by American country music singer, Barbara Mandrell, released in October 1976. The album peaked at number 24 on the Top Country Albums chart. Two singles were released, "Midnight Angel", which peaked at number 16 on the Top Country Singles chart, and "Married, But Not to Each Other", which peaked at number three. Following its success on the singles chart, "Married, But Not to Each Other" was included on Mandrell's Lovers, Friends and Strangers album in May 1977.
Like Barbara's previous album, Midnight Angel was not as successful as future releases. However, the album set the stage for her future recordings under the label. With her second album under ABC/Dot, the subject matter of her songs got sexier, as exemplified in "Pillow Pleasure", "Slippin' Around Again", and the pop-tinged "I Never Said I Love You." Like Barbara's previous album, This Is Barbara Mandrell , Midnight Angel also consisted of 11 tracks.
