Through the Windowpane is the debut full-length album from the British indie rock band Guillemots. It was released on 10 July 2006 in the United Kingdom and reached number 17 in the UK Album Chart. The album was highly anticipated following the strength of the singles "Trains to Brazil" and "Made-Up Lovesong #43". It was nominated for the 2006 Mercury Music Prize. The band released the final single from the album, a re-recording of "Annie, Let's Not Wait", on 15 January 2007.

All tracks written by Fyfe Dangerfield except where noted.

This album was produced by Fyfe Dangerfield with Chris Shaw ("Redwings", "Come Away With Me", "Through the Windowpane", "If the World Ends", "We're Here", "Annie Let's Not Wait" and "São Paulo"), Nick Ingman ("Little Bear"), Bryan Mills (old tracks on "Made-Up Lovesong #43") and Joum "Turbo" Lucas ("Blue Would Still Be Blue"). "Made-up Lovesong #43" is an alternative cut to the one featured on I Saw Such Things in My Sleep and From the Cliffs.

The following is a list of musicians (excluding the four band members) who feature on the album (taken from the album booklet):

"Little Bear"

"Made-Up Lovesong #43"

"Trains to Brazil"

"Redwings"

"Come Away With Me"

Although the back album cover names track 5 as "Come Away With Me"[1], the track is incorrectly tagged as "A Samba In The Snowy Rain" by iTunes.
