Boy Child: The Best of 1967–1970 is a compilation album by the singer-songwriter Scott Walker. It was released in 1990. The album compiles music that Walker both wrote and recorded on five of his first six studio albums; Scott (1967), Scott 2 (1968), Scott 3 (1969), Scott 4 (1969) and 'Til the Band Comes In (1970). The original release also includes the non-Walker composition "The Rope and The Colt", a French single recorded by the singer for the 1969 film Une corde, un colt. Also included was the 1967 b-side "The Plague".

In 2000 the album was re-released under the altered title Boy Child: 67–70 on HDCD with modified track listing and running order. The new version dropped "The Rope and The Colt" and added the Scott 4 track "Angels of Ashes".
