"One for the Road" is a song by English band Arctic Monkeys from their fifth studio album, AM. It was released on 9 December 2013 as the fourth single from the album. The single is available in the 7" vinyl format, and as a digital download, and features a B-side titled "You're So Dark". On 6 December 2013, Arctic Monkeys released the B-side's official audio track onto YouTube.

"One for the Road" is a rock song with R&B influences. Featuring backing vocals from rock musician and Humbug producer Josh Homme, the song also features influences from Homme's band, Queens of the Stone Age. The song starts with high-pitched "woo" sounds performed by drummer Matt Helders and continues with "a bluesy chunky riff" and "Americana-tinged rockabilly twang."

A music video for the song, filmed in Mendota, Illinois, was released on 23 October 2013. It was shot in black-and-white, and directed by Focus Creeps, with whom the band previously worked on several videos in 2011 and 2012, including the NME Award-winning video for "R U Mine?". The video shows Arctic Monkeys guitarist Jamie Cook driving tractors in three-piece suits, the band striking poses in a cornfield, and a party featuring models and fireworks.
