Boyce is a character in the British sitcom Green Wing, played by Oliver Chris.

Boyce is a medical student at East Hampton Hospital. He is currently being trained as a doctor by the more senior members, including Dr. Alan Statham.

Boyce is often seen wearing a bone around his neck (actually a pen designed to look like a bone and given away to medical staff by pharmaceutical companies). Boyce often plays practical jokes on Dr. Alan Statham.

His practical jokes have ranged from simple remarks such as, "I need to x-ray my penis. I think I dislocated it", all the way up to full scale taunts in front of colleagues. The biggest one was a 30-foot (9.1 m) high holographic image of Alan having anal sex with another man, one of the many homosexual jibes that Boyce has made. He also once bought Alan in a charity slave auction for 30p, took his teacher out for a (somewhat awkward) meal and ended up getting Alan drunk, and them waking up in bed together.

In private life, he spends most of his time with his best friend, junior doctor Dr. Martin Dear and is in a relationship with Kim Alabaster from human resources. Contrary to the prevailing advice of his chosen profession, he also smokes, normally with Kim's fellow co-worker Naughty Rachel.

Previously a medical student, in series 2, episode 7, he was made a house officer and invited everyone (including Alan) out to The Spice of Bengal for a celebratory meal.

In the last episode of series 2, he learns of the stuffed heron incident with Alan and Joanna, and helps them manage to escape. He had also grown a moustache, although it is possible it was a fake one to disguise himself from the police.

Whilst Alan is gone, he begins to miss him. This partly due to his replacement being even more horrible than Alan. Boyce is also the last person in the hospital contacted by Alan, who makes a phone call to him.

Boyce claims that the best person he was compared to was Jude Law and the worst was Brigitte Nielsen. In one deleted scene, Boyce admitted that he once shaved a female teacher.

Of all the people that agitate Alan, Boyce comes top of the list. Boyce spends every lesson performing practical jokes and passing comments to make his teacher look stupid. Boyce often refers to his affair with Joanna, which often leads to Alan stammering, getting confused and cancelling entire lessons out of agitation.
