Lucky Boy is a ghost town in Mineral County, Nevada, approximately 5 mi (8.0 km) southwest of Hawthorne.

The Lucky Boy Mine was located east of the town[2] on the east slope of the Wassuk Range, discovered by men repairing a stage road over a pass.

[4] A serious stage coach accident occurred near Lucky Boy in 1909, when "six spirited horses took fright" and then "dragged the passengers down a steep grade at lightning speed".

[6] In 1938, the property started shipping ore again with a rail car load to a Salt Lake City smelter.

[6] The mill was in operation until late December 1941 when it was closed due to restrictions caused by World War II, though the mine continued to operate with a small staff.
