"Young Boy" is a song by Paul McCartney and is the fifth track on his 1997 album Flaming Pie. McCartney reportedly started working on the song in August 1994. The initial tracks were recorded in February 1995 at Steve Miller's studio in Sun Valley, Idaho, and were completed in May at McCartney's home studio.

In April 1997, the song was released as the first single from Flaming Pie, peaking at No. 3 in Spain and No. 19 on the UK Singles Chart. The single featured two non-album b-sides: "Looking for You" and "Broomstick".
