"Beat Boy" is a 1984 song by the British synth-pop band Visage, released as a single in November 1984.

The track was taken as the second single from Visage's third album, Beat Boy, and became the band's last single before they split up in 1985. The single was a commercial failure and did not chart.

The music video was directed by Jean-Claude Luyat and shot in Africa, as a part of a full-length video incorporating songs from The Anvil and Beat Boy. It pictures dancing tribes and Steve Strange traveling across savanna.^[2] The clip was later included on the Visage video album in 1986.
