"'What It Is'" is a song written and recorded by the British rock musician Mark Knopfler. It was released on 4 September 2000 as the lead single from his second solo studio album, 'Sailing to Philadelphia' (2000).

An extended version of the song released in Mexico contains an additional verse:

:And the highwayman stands blowing on his fingers by the green

:I've walked inside his shoes before so I always buy his magazine

:He's with a local mystery with blood stains on her hands

:I like the way she winks at me but I leave her with the highwayman

The song's lyrics pay homage to the city of Edinburgh, Scotland.
