"The Girl from New York City" is a song written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love for the American rock band The Beach Boys. It was released on their 1965 album Summer Days (and Summer Nights!!). It was written as an answer song to The Ad Libs' hit from earlier that year, "The Boy from New York City".

Aside from appearing on Summer Days (and Summer Nights!!), "The Girl from New York City" has since appeared on many other Beach Boys releases. The song was released in Greece as the B-side to "Wild Honey." The song also appeared on the UK version of compilation album, Best of The Beach Boys Vol. 2, as well as Capitol Years, another compilation album.

"The Girl from New York City" was described as "well done" by AllMusic writer Richie Unterberger, but he felt that the track didn't "break new ground." Author Jim Fuselli described the track as a throwback "to the group's happy-go-lucky days."
