"The Boys of Summer" is a song by American rock musician Don Henley. The lyrics were written by Henley and the music was composed by Mike Campbell of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. It was released on October 26, 1984, as the lead single from Henley's second solo studio album Building the Perfect Beast. It reached No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Billboard Top Rock Tracks chart for five weeks. It was his most successful hit in the United Kingdom, reaching No. 12 on the UK singles chart. A re-release of the single in 1998 also reached No. 12.

Mike Campbell, the guitarist for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, wrote a demo for "The Boys of Summer" while experimenting with a LinnDrum drum machine and Oberheim Xpander synthesizer. He showed it to Tom Petty, but Petty felt it did not fit with the record they were working on, Southern Accents (1985). At the suggestion of its record producer Jimmy Iovine, Campbell played it for Don Henley, the vocalist and drummer for the Eagles, who wrote the lyrics and recorded the vocals. They re-recorded the song after Henley decided to change the key.

In 1986, Henley won the Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance for the song at the 28th Annual Grammy Awards. In 2004, "The Boys of Summer" was ranked No. 423 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. In 2021, in their updated list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, Rolling Stone re-ranked "The Boys of Summer" at No. 209. "The Boys of Summer" is included in The Pitchfork 500, Pitchfork Media's "Guide to the Greatest Songs from Punk to Present".

Tom Petty was astounded by the track's success. One day, he and Mike Campbell were out on a car drive to listen to a mix of their song "Don't Come Around Here No More", but turned on the ignition and heard "The Boys of Summer". Campbell changed the station in case the song would upset Petty, but another station was also playing the song. Petty enjoyed listening to it and regretted initially turning it down.

The music video to "The Boys of Summer" is a French New Wave-influenced piece directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino. Shot in black and white, it shows the main character of the song at three different stages of life (as a young boy, a young adult and middle-aged), in each case reminiscing about a past relationship. Interspersed with these scenes are segments of Henley singing the words of the song while riding in a pickup truck. The boy is dressed in a style typical of the 1950s, the teenage lovers are dressed in a style characteristic of the early 1960s while the middle-aged man is dressed in the style of the 1980s. As a boy in the 1950s, the protagonist practices playing the drums, suggesting musical aspirations; as a teenager in the 1960s, he runs down a beach with his girlfriend whom he kisses passionately; and as a middle-aged man played by Glenn Frey. in the 1980s, he appears to be an executive of some sort who is comfortable, but unhappy in life as he sits at his desk remembering his youth. The young boy in the video is played by a seven-year-old Josh Paul, while the girl is played by Audie England. Interspersed with these scenes are segments of Henley articulating the words of the song while riding in the bed of a pickup truck through the streets of Los Angeles. At its conclusion, the video uses the post-modern concept of exposing its own workings, as an automobile pulls away from a rear projection screen of the video playing until it's revealed from the rear-view mirror that Don Henley is driving the car.

The video won the Video of the Year at the 1985 MTV Video Music Awards (leading Henley to comment at the Awards the following year that he had won for "riding around in the back of a pickup"). It also won that year's awards for Best Direction, Best Art Direction, and Best Cinematography. The Best Direction award was presented to Jean-Baptiste Mondino by Henley's then-former Eagles bandmate Glenn Frey.
