"Lightning Crashes" is the name of a song by alternative rock group Live from their 1994 album, Throwing Copper.

While it wasn't officially released as a commercially purchasable single in the United States, the song received enough radio airplay to peak at the #12 position on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay music chart in 1995. The song also topped the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks and Mainstream Rock Tracks charts also in 1995. Because it was not released as a commercial single in the United States, it was ineligible for the Billboard Hot 100. Despite this, it's considered to be the biggest hit of Live's career.

The song was also a top 40 hit in the United Kingdom. The U.K. single was released in several formats and versions.
