D' Boys (pronounced as The Boys) were a former Yugoslav synthpop/pop rock band from Belgrade.

The band was formed in 1982, consisting of two musicians: Peđa D'Boy (real name Predrag Jovanović, vocals, guitar) and Miško Mihajlovski, who reportedly "played the drum machine" and percussion. Jovanović was previously a vocalist for Lutalice, performed in cafes in France, spent some time on Goa beaches performing with jazz and rock musicians from all over the world, and was a vocalist for the German progressive/krautrock band Jane, with which he recorded their 1980 self-titled album. Mihajlovski was previously a member of the new wave/art rock band Kozmetika, and was one of the artists gathered around Izgled magazine.

In 1982 Jovanović returned to Belgrade, and decided to start performing. After a jam session, held during the art exhibition of the comic book artist Igor Kordej, Jovanović and Mihajlovski decided to start collaborating. Initially, their joint act was known as Peđa i Miško, and later Oksižen (Oxygen, after Peđa D'Boy's dyed hair), until they finally adopted the name D' Boys, suggested by the host of a popular music TV-show Hit meseca Dubravka Marković and her then-boyfriend Srđan "Gile" Gojković of Električni Orgazam.
