"Lacy" (stylized in all lowercase) is a song by American singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo from her second studio album, Guts (2023). Rodrigo wrote it with its producer, Dan Nigro. The song became available as the album's fourth track on September 8, 2023, when it was released by Geffen Records. A folk-pop and indie folk song with influences of theatrical folk, "Lacy" originated from a poem she wrote for a class assignment. The song chronicles Rodrigo's obsession over the beauty of a female figure whom she addresses by the same name and her resulting envy and self-hatred.

Music critics praised the lyricism and production of "Lacy", along with the intensity of Rodrigo's performance. They perceived potential LGBT implications in the song's lyrics. It reached the top 30 in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and the United States and entered the charts in some other countries. Rodrigo performed "Lacy" at the Grammy Museum, the Bluebird Café, and a Tiny Desk concert. She included it on the set list of her 2024 concert tour, the Guts World Tour. Noah Kahan covered "Lacy" on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge, which received positive critical commentary. Kahan's version was released as the B-side to a 7-inch vinyl single in April 2024.
