"The View from the Afternoon" is the A-side from the second EP Who the Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys by Sheffield band Arctic Monkeys, and the opening track of their debut album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not.

Originally expected to be the band's third single following UK Number Ones "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" and "When the Sun Goes Down", the band announced in March 2006 that their next record would in fact be a 5-track EP [1], thereby disqualifying it from appearing on the UK singles (and album) charts.

The remainder of the EP is made up of new material, except "Cigarette Smoker Fiona" is a rework of "Cigarette Smoke" on the "Beneath the Boardwalk" collection of demo CDs.
