"Butterfly" is a popular song written by Bernie Lowe and Kal Mann and published in 1957. The song is credited to Anthony September as songwriter in some sources. This was a pseudonym of Anthony Mammarella, producer of American Bandstand.

Both the original recording of the song by Charlie Gracie and a cover version by Andy Williams reached #1 on different Billboard charts in the first half of 1957. Williams' version also reached #1 on the UK Singles Chart in 1957. Gracie's version reached number seven on the Billboard Top 100, while Williams' version went to number one on the same chart. A version recorded by Bob Carroll on the Bally label made the charts, but didn't go higher than number 61. The Crests recorded a cover version for their 1960 album: The Crests Sing All Biggies.
