The Ordinary Boys were an English indie rock band from Worthing, originally named Next in Line. They were influenced by mod revival and Britpop music, as well as the bands Madness, The Specials and The Smiths/Morrissey. Their name derives from a Morrissey song, The Ordinary Boys.

Despite their limited success on the British charts, their popularity grew, particularly due to media coverage that the lead singer, Samuel Preston, received when participating in Celebrity Big Brother UK in January 2006. Following that appearance, sales of the band's albums soared and the "Boys Will Be Boys" single moved from #33 to #3 in four weeks. Fans of the band are nicknamed "The Ordinary Army".

In early 2008, lead singer Preston confirmed the band's end through the official Ordinary Boys website, and announced he is currently in the process of writing new material for a solo album.
