"My New Boyfriend" is a song written and performed by Carly Simon, and the second single from her 12th studio album Spoiled Girl. The song was the first ever single by Carly Simon that failed to chart in any country, or on any specialized US genre chart.

Despite its complete lack of chart action, Simon included the single on her 1995 career retrospective box set Clouds in My Coffee,[1] and Sony BMG/Legacy included it on their 2014 compilation release Playlist: The Very Best of Carly Simon.
