Nightclubbing is the fifth studio album by Grace Jones, released in 1981. It is the second of three albums that Jones made at Compass Point Studios in the Bahamas and became Jones' commercial breakthrough. The album includes the hit single "Pull Up to the Bumper" which made #53 in the UK Singles Chart in June 1981. The track was later re-released as a double a-side together with La Vie En Rose and reached #12 in January 1986. The title track is a cover of an Iggy Pop song, which was co-written by David Bowie.

The album reached number #35 on the UK Album Chart in May 1981.

The liner notes of the 2006 Universal Music compilation The Grace Jones Story state "A double deluxe CD edition of Nightclubbing is being released in May 2006 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of her keynote work", the bonus disc most likely including the original 1981 7" and 12" mixes that were left off the 1998 compilation Private Life: The Compass Point Sessions, namely "Walking In The Rain" (2 different 12" mixes + one 7" edit), "Pull Up To The Bumper" (3 different 12" mixes and also a 7" dub version performed by the Compass Point Allstars called "Peanut Butter"), "Feel Up" (2 different 12" mixes), "I've Seen That Face Before (Libertango)" (12" Mix) plus the Spanish language 7" version of the latter entitled "Esta Cara Me Es Conocida".
