The Lost Boy is the fifth serial of the first series of the British science fiction television series The Sarah Jane Adventures. It first aired on the CBBC channel in two weekly parts on 12 and 19 November 2007. This episode was intentionally named after Dave Pelzer's The Lost Boy.

In the story, Luke Smith, Sarah Jane Smith's adopted son, is allegedly reunited with his biological human parents, despite prior assumptions that he had been created by the Bane. However, the family is actually a disguised alien family of criminals called the Slitheen, who are attempting to get revenge on Luke for past encounters.
