"One of the Boys" is a single released by Mott the Hoople, in Canada, Germany, Netherlands and the United States, although not in the UK.

The song was featured in an episode of the BBC Television drama series, Life on Mars.

The song's subject matter refers to 'being one of the boys' - the state that exists when a young male comes out with his friends for a night of drinking, poker, or debauchery, for example.^{[citation needed]} The song uses the same chord progression as "Can't Get Enough", a hit for Mick Ralphs' next band, Bad Company.^{[citation needed]}
