One Night Stand [1][2] Finnish: Yhden yön juttu) is a one-act opera by Finnish composer Olli Kortekangas and librettist Michael Baran. The work was composed from 2009-2010.[3]

It was commissioned by the Sibelius Academy and premiered in the Helsinki Music Center in October 2011 for the program, "OPERA, MASTER." In 2011, Kortekangas noted that the opera shared similarities with his previous opera, "Daddy's Girl."[4]
