All Systems Go is an album by Donna Summer released in 1987. Best remembered for her disco hits during the 1970s, Summer had been signed to Geffen Records since 1980 and this became her final album with them.

During her time with Geffen, Summer's work had often been turned down for release by them. In 1981 she had recorded an entire double album entitled I'm a Rainbow which had been completely shelved. Her hit 1983 album She Works Hard for the Money had also been turned down by Geffen and was instead released by Polygram. By 1987, it had been three years since Summer's last Geffen release Cats Without Claws. There have been rumours among fans for years that more unreleased material had been recorded since then, but nevertheless All Systems Go was issued in 1987.

This album was a fusion of typical 1980s synth-style pop/dance with soul and R&B elements, including both upbeat songs and ballads. Most tracks were produced by Harold Faltermeyer, though Peter Bunetta, Rick Chudacoff, Richard Perry, Keith D. Nelson, Jeff Lams and Summer herself were also given production credits on certain songs. Summer was credited as co-writer on seven on the nine tracks. Other writers credited were Faltermeyer, Bunetta, Lams, Nelson, Joe Erickson, Bruce Sudano (Summer's husband), Andy Slovic, Hannes Treiber, Pit Floss, Michael Omartian (who had produced Summer's two previous albums), Virgin Weber, John Bettis, Eddie Schwartz and Dave Tyson. The album also included a cover of Brenda Russell's song "Dinner With Gershwin" and a ballad duet with Mickey Thomas entitled "Only The Fool Survives".

Although the album itself did generally not perform very well, Summer's version of "Dinner With Gershwin" gave her her highest UK chart placing (Number 13) since the end of the 1970s. The title track also became a minor hit, and both cuts were released in 12" Disco Single format.
