Barcarole in der Nacht is the tenth German single recorded by U. S. entertainer Connie Francis. The B-side was Colombino.
Both songs had been written especially in German for Francis since it had become clear after her previous nine German singles that compositions of German origin were favored by the German audiences to cover versions of Francis' U. S. hits.
