The Bowery Boys are fictional New York City characters portrayed by an ensemble of actors, who were the subject of 48 feature films released quarterly by Monogram Pictures and its successor Allied Artists Pictures Corporation from January 1946 through January 1958.

The Bowery Boys were successors of The East Side Kids, which had been a Monogram series since 1940. The group originated as The Dead End Kids, who originally appeared in the 1937 film Dead End.
