A Boy Named Goo, sometimes referred to as ABNG, is an album by the Goo Goo Dolls, released in 1995 on Warner Brothers Records.

This is the Goo Goo Dolls' last studio album with George Tutuska on drums; he was replaced by current drummer Mike Malinin just before the album was released. The song "Stand Alone" was written by George Tutuska, and because Johnny Rzeznik didn't want to exploit George's efforts after his dismissal, the song was only included on a promo version of the album. On the wide-release version, it is replaced with "Disconnected" and "Slave Girl". On the same promo, "Ain't That Unusual" was labeled as "Someday". The two replacement songs are covers of songs by defunct Buffalo and Sydney, Australia, punk bands (The Enemies and Lime Spiders, respectively).

At the time of its release Target stores and Wal-Mart refused to sell the CD because of the cover of the album. They thought that if people saw the adult hands over a small child with a red substance on the child's face people might mistake it for blood and they might get the wrong idea. What is on the child's face is actually red berries.

The song "Name" is well-known as the Goo Goo Dolls' first hit. This was "quite accidentally," according to lead singer Johnny Rzeznik. He wrote it as a love ballad, reflecting his childhood as an orphan.

The song "Ain't That Unusual" was featured on the soundtrack of the 1995 film, Angus. A remix of the song "Long Way Down" was featured on the soundtrack of the 1996 movie, Twister.

Haste the Day, a metalcore band, covered the song "Long Way Down" for their album When Everything Falls.
