"Good Boys... When They're Asleep" was a 1999 compilation of the British rock group Faces. Compiled primarily by group keyboardist Ian McLagan, it served to supersede the 1976 effort "Snakes And Ladders / The Best of Faces", and to present a CD-length retrospective of the group, lasting nearly eighty minutes.

Again dominated by Rod Stewart, who sings fifteen of nineteen lead vocals, the set presents three tracks sung by Ronnie Lane, and the singing debut of Ronnie Wood, "Ooh La La". Included for the first time is one track from the Faces' final session, "Open To Ideas".

With the exception of a cover of Bob Dylan's "The Wicked Messenger", all of these tracks appear on the 2004 box set by the group, "Five Guys Walk into a Bar...".
