"Lightning Crashes" is the name of a song by alternative rock group Live from the Throwing Copper album. While it wasn't officially released as a CD single in the U.S., the song received enough radio airplay to peak at the #12 position on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay music chart. The song also topped the Modern Rock Tracks and Mainstream Rock Tracks charts, and was also a top 40 hit in the United Kingdom. Because it was not released as a CD single, it was unable to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. Despite this, because of its high charting on the rock charts, it's considered to be the biggest hit of Live's career.

The band dedicated the song to Barbara Lewis, a friend of the band who had been killed by a drunk driver who was fleeing from the police after a robbery. Barbara had many of her organs donated, and the song lyrics reflect how her death enabled others to continue living. After the 1999 Columbine High School massacre, Ed Kowalczyk would frequently dedicate the song to the victims at live shows.
