"R U Mine?" is a song by the English indie rock band Arctic Monkeys. It features lyrics written by frontman Alex Turner, as well as music composed by the entire band. The song was released as a digital download in the United Kingdom on 27 February 2012 and was released physically for the Record Store Day on 21 April 2012 on a limited edition double A-side purple 7" vinyl along with new song "Electricity". The vinyl was limited to a run of only 1,750 copies.

"R U Mine?" debuted at number twenty-three on the UK Singles Chart; the band's highest charting single since "Crying Lightning" reached number twelve (12) in July 2009. Despite originally being released as a standalone single, the song was later included as the lead single of their fifth studio album, AM (2013), albeit slightly remixed. It was later certified platinum in the UK, making it one of the Arctic Monkeys' best-selling songs.

The song was also featured in the video games Forza Horizon[9] and Rocksmith 2014.[10] It was also featured in the video game Guitar Hero Live. It was released as a downloadable song for the rhythm game Rock Band 3 on January 13, 2015; one of the first three downloadable songs released for Rock Band 3 in almost two years.
