Our Boys was a boys story paper published by the Educational Company of Ireland and the Christian Brothers, beginning in 1914. Modelled on the British "Boy's Own" tradition but informed by a Catholic and nationalist ideology, it included cartoons and prose adventure adventure stories in English and Irish. Illustrators whose work was published in Our Boys include W. C. Mills, Gordon Brewster, George Altendorf, Gerrit van Gelderen, George Monks and M. J. O'Mullane.

From 1946 it had an Irish language comic supplement, Tír na nÓg. It was still being published in the early 1980s.
