"Cassie" is a song by alternative metal band Flyleaf. It was first released on their self-titled EP Passerby, when they were still named Passerby. "Cassie" subsequently appeared on Flyleaf (EP), Flyleaf LP Sampler, and Flyleaf (album).

The song refers to Lacey Mosley's view on the Columbine High School massacre concerning the incident where Cassie Bernall was asked by one of the gunmen whether she believed in God or not. Upon expressing her belief, she was shot to death. According to some accounts, Cassie was not questioned about her beliefs, but a similar question was put to Valeen Schnurr, who was spared by the gunmen. The investigation team that worked on the Columbine shooting came to similar conclusions regarding the incident and its authenticity.^[1][2]
