"Flyleaf" is the Texas alternative metal band Flyleaf's first full-length album. It was released on October 4 2005, debuting at #88 on the Billboard 200. Their first single is "I'm So Sick". Their second single, "Fully Alive", hit radio stations on June 6 2006. Their third and highest charting single is "All Around Me". According to Rolling Stone Magazine, the band along with Paramore, are the 2008 breakout bands.

On October 30, 2007, the band re-released this album repackaged as a CD/DVD version. The album has the same tracks on it, but acoustic versions of "Cassie", "Fully Alive", "I'm So Sick" and more. The DVD has exlusive interviews with Flyleaf and music videos of "All Around Me", "I'm So Sick" and "Fully Alive". The CD/DVD version also came with a free ringtone of "All Around Me" along with a locker poster. Flyleaf sold over 13,000 copies of the Special Edition CD/DVD in the first week. They jumped 59 spots on the Billboard Top 200 chart up to #62. In the second week of sales for the Special Edition CD/DVD, "Flyleaf" sold over 10,100 copies.

The album was hugely publicised on the website Purevolume, and has sold over 1,000,000 copies in the US certifying it as Platinum.

The album was re-released in the UK on January 14, 2008, with only 3 additional acoustic tracks on the CD. For this release, the album was released on Polydor which is a Major Record Label in the UK.
