Jim the Boy is a coming-of-age novel by Tony Earley, published by Little, Brown and Co. in 2000. It details a year in the life of Jim Glass, who lives, with his mother and three uncles, in the small fictional town of Aliceville, North Carolina. It is about a boy in a rural town who never really knew how vast the world actually was or how many people there were.

Nashville Musician Paul Burch, Earley's neighbor at the time, was asked to write an album based on the story lines and characters in the book. The album, Last of My Kind, was released by Merge Records in 2001.

In one scene Jan Karon's book In This Mountain, the local bookseller is seen reading Jim the Boy, noting (truthfully) that it was a book "which The New York Times had raved over."
