A Night with Lou Reed
Video by Lou Reed
Released	1984
Recorded	February 28, 1983
Venue	The Bottom Line, New York, NY
Length	60 minutes
Label	RCA Video Productions

A Night with Lou Reed is a video by Lou Reed. It is drawn from the same tour as the album Live in Italy, which was released the following year.

The video is an intimate visual record of Reed's sold-out performance at The Bottom Line in New York City in 1983. For Reed, whose career began in Greenwich Village when he founded The Velvet Underground, this was a homecoming concert.

However, five numbers are missing: "Betrayed", "Sally Can't Dance", "Some Kinda Love/Sister Ray" and "Heroin". The 2000 DVD release is missing Reed's between-song repartee (for example his quoting of the "feeling lucky punk" speech from the Dirty Harry movies), while the 1984 RCA/Columbia Pictures VHS release, and the 1988 version broadcast on British TV, did include these.
