Good Boys... When They're Asleep... was a 1999 compilation of British rock group Faces. Compiled primarily by keyboardist Ian McLagan, it served to supersede the 1976 effort Snakes And Ladders / The Best of Faces, and to present a CD-length retrospective of the group, lasting nearly eighty minutes (although a UK-only double LP retrospective, Best Of Faces, had already gone some way toward achieving those goals already as early as 1977, Good Boys was the first Faces compilation to benefit from the active involvement of a group member).

Rod Stewart performs lead vocals on fifteen of nineteen tracks, the set presents three tracks sung by Ronnie Lane, and the singing debut of Ronnie Wood on "Ooh La La." Included for the first time is one track from the Faces' final session, "Open to Ideas."

With the exception of a cover of Bob Dylan's "The Wicked Messenger," all of these tracks appear, alongside many others, on the comprehensive 2004 four-disc box set by the group (again curated by keyboardist Ian Mclagan) titled Five Guys Walk into a Bar....
