The Boys from Doraville is the ninth album by the Southern rock band Atlanta Rhythm Section, and their final album on Polydor Records, released in 1980.[1][2]

The album peaked at #65 on the Billboard 200. None of its singles charted. As a result, the group departed Polydor, which led to a breach of contract lawsuit from the company that was later settled in the band's favor.
