"Kiss Me" is a song written by Matt Slocum and performed by American Christian alternative rock band Sixpence None the Richer. The ballad served as the lead single from their self-titled third album (1997). "Kiss Me" was serviced to US modern rock radio on July 14, 1998, and was issued physically on August 12. Several critics compared the song to works by English alternative rock band the Sundays, and it was nominated for a Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals at the 42nd Grammy Awards.

"Kiss Me" is the band's highest-charting single in the US, peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming the country's sixth-best-selling single of 1999. Worldwide, the song reached No. 1 on the Australian and Canadian charts as well as No. 4 on the UK Singles Chart, entering the top 10 in 16 countries altogether.

"Kiss Me" originated as a draft of a song written in a Dutch motel. Sixpence None the Richer's lead vocalist Leigh Nash said the band had been in their rooms for about an hour when member Matt Slocum called to tell her he had written a new song. Nash added, "We were on tour over there, and we had a show that night at Flevo Festival. We performed it that night! I went down into his room and learned it. It was an instant hit with fans, but it was still like a year and a half before we recorded it."

The song has a more lighthearted, "poppier" sound than the band's earlier work; the band was reluctant to include it on their self-titled third album until their producer persuaded them to reconsider. Nash said early drafts of the song had "slightly edgier lyrics, with 'silver moon sparkling' originally written as 'cigarettes sparkling.'"

Three music videos were made. The original video, directed by producer Steve Taylor and filmed in Paris, pays tribute to François Truffaut's film Jules and Jim, made in black and white and recreating many of the classic scenes from the film. Two alternate versions of the video were released later, directed by Randee St. Nicholas, that feature the band sitting on a park bench, performing and watching scenes from either She's All That or Dawson's Creek on a portable television or projected on an outdoor screen. Freddie Prinze Jr. and Rachael Leigh Cook appear in the She's All That version. The Dawson's Creek version was VH1's number-one video of May 1999.

The song has been covered by Avril Lavigne, UK R&B singer Nathan, Lava Lava on their album Tour Demo, and New Found Glory on their 2007 album From the Screen to Your Stereo Part II. Olivia Ong covered the song on her 2006 album A Girl Meets Bossa Nova 2 and a cover by Debbie Scott appeared in the 2004 game Pump It Up: Exceed. Another cover was put in the 2003 game Karaoke Revolution.
Lisa of the K-pop girl group Blackpink interpolated the song's chorus in her single "Moonlit Floor (Kiss Me)" on her 2024 album Alter Ego, transforming the alternative rock ballad into a more upbeat nu-disco dance-pop track.

In the 2003 romantic comedy How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days starring Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey, "Kiss Me" plays during a kiss-cam scene when their characters Andie Anderson and Benjamin Barry attend a New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden. The song appears in the movie's soundtrack album.

Taylor Swift said that "Kiss Me" was the first song she learned to play on guitar, when she was 12 years old.
