"Between You and Me" is a song by the American contemporary Christian music group DC Talk. Released in 1996, it was the second radio and commercial single released from the group's fourth album, Jesus Freak.

Lyrically, “Between You and Me” stresses the importance of seeking forgiveness from a friend. In contrast to many of the DC Talk's other singles, the Christian message of "Between You and Me" – the importance of forgiveness and confession – is heavily implied, although it is not blatantly stated in terms of any specific religion. The music video for the song features the band members – Michael Tait, Kevin Max, and Toby McKeehan – performing the song in a laundromat. Interspersed is footage of a man carrying a package while running from two other men.

After the unexpected success of the grunge rock single " Jesus Freak," "Between You and Me" helped to bring DC Talk to a new level of success and solidify them as mainstream artists. The song later earned DC Talk a GMA Dove Award and is the only DC Talk single to have charted on the Billboard Hot 100. The single was also a Christian radio success and peaked at number one on both the Christian Adult Contemporary and Christian Contemporary Hit Radio CCM Magazine charts.
