Boys on the Side is a 1995 American comedy-drama film directed by Herbert Ross (in his final film as a director) and written by Don Roos. It stars Whoopi Goldberg, Mary-Louise Parker and Drew Barrymore.

Real estate agent Robin finds Jane to share a ride in her car with Jane from New York to Los Angeles. They end up taking Jane's friend Holly with them for the trip west. The three vastly different strangers end up bonding closely on the cross-country road trip.

The film received positive reviews and was a moderate box office success.
