"Lacrymosa" is a song recorded by American rock band Evanescence for their second studio album, The Open Door (2006). An alternative version appears on the band's fourth studio album Synthesis (2017). The song was composed by Amy Lee and Terry Balsamo and produced by Dave Fortman. "Lacrymosa" incorporates the Lacrimosa sequence from Mozart's Requiem (1791) throughout. Lee said that it was inspired by the movie Amadeus.

Set in slow tempo, it was originally written in the key of D minor but Lee and Balsamo transposed it into E minor.
