Willy and the Poor Boys is the fourth studio album by American  band , released by  in November 1969. It was the last of three studio albums the band released that year, arriving just three months after .

The album features the songs "", from which the album got its name, and "", which is a well-known . Creedence also released its own version of "" on this album, which reached the #1 position in Mexico.

The album was planned to be formed around a concept introduced in "", with Creedence taking on the identity of an old-time  called "Willy and The Poor Boys". However, this was dropped rather quickly, except for the cover, where the band remains in character.
