"Boys Don't Cry" is an album by The Cure, released in August 1980 (see 1980 in music). It is the U.S. version of their UK debut album, "Three Imaginary Boys", differing slightly in track order and missing three of that album's songs ("Foxy Lady," "Meathook," "It's Not You") while adding others ("Boys Don't Cry," "Plastic Passion," "Jumping Someone Else's Train", "World War" and "Killing an Arab"). The debut single from this album was "Boys Don't Cry".

On the back cover of original UK album "Three Imaginary Boys", the song titles were not listed conventionally, but represented by pictograms. "Boys Don't Cry" took the pictogram for the song "Fire in Cairo" for its sleeve picture.

The London based indie punk band Plastic Passion took their name from this album.
