Boyd Raeburn (b. Faith, South Dakota, United States, October 27, 1913; d. Lafayette, Louisiana, United States,
August 2, 1966) was an American jazz bandleader and bass saxophonist. His big band, which was active c. 1944-47, performed arrangements that were often quite avant-garde, like the arrangements of Stan Kenton during the same period. The compositions arranged by George Handy were the most contemporary, utilizing dissonance somewhat in the manner of Igor Stravinsky.

He died of a heart attack in 1966.
