Isn't It Grand Boys is a 1966 studio album by the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem. It was the Irish folk group's seventh album for Columbia Records and their tenth album over all. Tommy Makem wrote the liner notes.

The album reached #22 on the UK Albums Chart on 16 April 1966. It remained on the chart for five weeks.

New York Times music critic, Robert Shelton, praised the album for its sound quality and presence. About the singing, he noted: "The ensemble efforts have just enough polish to show a firm professionalism, and just enough rough edges to retain a native folk quality." He singled out the songs "Nancy Whisky," "Isn't It Grand Boys," and "Westering Ho" for their "hearty virility."

All songs are traditional and were adapted and arranged by The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, except where noted.
