"'I'm Not Jesus'" is a song by the Finnish cello metal band Apocalyptica, featuring Corey Taylor from Slipknot and Stone Sour. The single was released on September 17, 2007 and again on March 4, 2008, on the album 'Worlds Collide'.

The song thematizes child abuse by clerics. Corey Taylor sings from the perspective of a man who was

sexually abused by a priest when he was a child and now confronts his abuser.

The song was co-written by ex-Filter guitarist and composer Geno Lenardo and vocalist Johnny Andrews.
