"You Won't See Me" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1965 album Rubber Soul. It was written by Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon–McCartney. As with songs such as "We Can Work It Out" and "I'm Looking Through You" from the same period, the lyrics address McCartney's troubled relationship with Jane Asher and her desire to pursue her career as a stage and film actress. The Beatles recorded the song during what author Mark Lewisohn describes as a "marathon" final recording session for Rubber Soul, to ensure the album's pre-Christmas release. Canadian pop singer Anne Murray covered "You Won't See Me" in 1974. Her version was a top ten hit in both her native country and the United States. The track additionally appeared on her album Love Song. Background and inspiration "You Won't See Me" is about a crisis in McCartney's relationship with his then girlfriend, Jane Asher.

In late 1965, while the Beatles were recording the album Rubber Soul in London, she had accepted an offer to appear in a stage production at the Bristol Old Vic theatre. After a heated argument, the couple had briefly ended the relationship. When he then attempted to telephone her in Bristol, Asher rejected him by not returning his calls. McCartney later said that it was "shattering to be without her". Since 1963, McCartney had lived at the Asher family home, on Wimpole Street in central London. He recalled writing the song in the family music room, in the basement of the house. He said that the composition originated from "a two-note progression that I had very high on the first two strings of the guitar: the E and B strings", which he developed by playing descending semitones on the B string while letting the top string ring out. He described the song as "very Motown-flavoured" with a "James Jamerson feel". He drew musical inspiration for the composition from the Four Tops' "It's the Same Old Song", which was a hit single in the UK in late 1965. During this period, McCartney also wrote "We Can Work It Out" and "I'm Looking Through You" as commentaries on his and Asher's relationship. The more biting tone of his lyrics marked
