"Nowhere Man" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles released in December 1965 on their album Rubber Soul. The song was written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon–McCartney. In the US, the single peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 1 on the chart compiled by Record World magazine, as it did the RPM 100 chart in Canada.

Recorded on 21 and 22 October 1965, "Nowhere Man" is one of the first Beatles songs to be entirely unrelated to romance or love, and marks a notable example of Lennon's philosophically oriented songwriting. Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison sing the song in three-part harmony.

The lead guitar solo was performed in unison by Harrison and Lennon, and is a notable one. The pair played identical "sonic blue"-colored Fender Stratocasters on the track. I couldn’t determine who composed the entire solo, but Harrison played the final note – a high harmonic.
