One Night Only is a live album by the Bee Gees. It features the group's concert at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States, in 1997 and includes many of their greatest hits.

The CD is edited, with some songs missing. The DVD version of the concert, which was the Bee Gees' first show in ten years, features the complete concert. The album was re-issued in 1999, and included a bonus CD with the missing songs.

Bee Gees performed songs from every decade from the 1960s to the 1990s. They also sang a tribute song to their late brother Andy Gibb, "(Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away". During this song old footage of Andy is shown, including him singing the second verse of the song. The vocals from the original recording also play during that section. Céline Dion guest starred on the Bee Gees-penned "Immortality". Recorded vocals by Frankie Valli are featured during "Grease", and are also taken from the original song.

A numerous selection of the songs performed was shortened down, with some of them coalesced into a medley. Many were done in acoustic guitar and still sounded like their original recordings.

Throughout the concert a "movie screen" appears in the background which shows footage of their video clip with the song they are singing. Also, many details of the Bee Gees' lives are provided, for example their positive experiences with the Wagga Police Boy's Club, Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, Australia. They also mention "great Australian" like Olivia Newton-John, who attended the concert.
