Naktis is the sixth album by Latvian band Dzeltenie Pastnieki, released through magnitizdat in 1987, and the only one of the band's six 1980s albums yet to see an official CD release. It is widely shared on P2P networks in several versions of tape-to-computer transfers done by fans. The name of the album translates as "Nights" or "The Nights" from Latvian.

As a favourite of both fans and critics alike, the album is perhaps the band's strongest album-length statement. So far, it is the only album besides Bolderājas dzelzceļš to feature live drumming by Ilgvars Rišķis, and marked a return to that album's guitar/bass-centered sound. Both synthesizers and tape manipulation were also still notable in the band's sound.
