Where Were You When the Lights Went Out? is a 1968 American comedy film directed by Hy Averback and starring Doris Day, Patrick O'Neal and Robert Morse. Although set in New York City during the infamous Northeast blackout of 1965, the screenplay by Everett Freeman and Karl Tunberg is based on the earlier 1956 French play Monsieur Masure by Claude Magnier.

This was the penultimate film of Doris Day's career, being released two months before her final screen appearance in With Six You Get Eggroll (1968).
