"Beneath the Boardwalk" was the name given to an unofficial collection of recorded tracks by Sheffield band Arctic Monkeys. Its name is a reference to a club the band often played at, "The Boardwalk". The collection is sometimes incorrectly called "Beneath the Broadwalk".

Beneath the Boardwalk was available for download for free from local amateur photographer Mark "The Sheriff" Bull's webpage.

The collection consists of a large amount of demo tracks that had previously been released. The collection introduced a large number of people to the band, before the release of their first album, "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not" and aided in making it the fastest-selling debut album in UK history.

The collection is no longer available from the original webpage, and must be obtained either from other websites or peer-to-peer file sharing networks.
