The Leather Boys is a 1961 novel by British author Gillian Freeman. It is set in the ton-up boy rocker subculture in London and tells the story of a gay relationship between two young working-class men, one married and the other a biker. The Leather Boys was originally published by Anthony Blond under the pseudonym of Eliot George because of its controversial themes.
The novel was adapted into the 1964 British drama film The Leather Boys.
