Sonny Boy is a 1961 album by jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins comprising four tracks from his final recordings for the Prestige label, three of which were originally released on Tour de Force, along with an unissued performance from the session that produced Rollins Plays for Bird.

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states: "Tour de Force is a more logical purchase, although the music on this CD does feature the immortal tenor saxophonist in fine form."
