Bob Carlisle (born September 29, 1956; Los Angeles, California) is an American musician who performs Christian music. He performed with several bands, most notably Allies and Billy Thermal, before launching a solo career where he earned a Grammy Award and a Dove Award. He has two children, Brooke and Evan.

Carlisle is best known for his hit song "Butterfly Kisses", which appeared on his third solo album. That album, originally titled Shades of Grace, was later re-released as Butterfly Kisses (Shades of Grace) because of the success of the single. He co-wrote this song with former Allies partner Randy Thomas and for this they together won the 1997 Grammy Award for Best Country Song. "Butterfly Kisses" also won a Dove Award for Song of the Year. This song was also a country chart single that same year for Jeff Carson and the Raybon Brothers.[1]
