Men'll Be Boys is the fourth studio album by American country music artist Billy Dean. It was released in 1994 (see 1994 in country music) on Liberty Records as his final album for the label before Liberty's country music division was merged with Capitol Records Nashville. The album produced only two singles in "Cowboy Band" and "Men Will Be Boys", which respectively reached #24 and #60 on the Billboard country singles charts.

The album includes two cover songs: "I Will Be Here" had been released by Steven Curtis Chapman on his 1989 album More to This Life, and "Misery and Gin" had been released by Merle Haggard on his 1980 album Back to the Barrooms.
