Boyd Richard Hoyland is a fictional character in the Australian soap opera Neighbours, played by Kyal Marsh. He first appeared in 2002 and currently remains on the show. Like Kyal, Boyd was born in 1987 (though this may not necessarily always be the case as Neighbours uses an elastic concept of aging, known in the soap business as SORAS). He started medical school in early 2006.

At first he dated Heather, a girl he did practically anything for. He really liked her and even attempted to steal a street sign for her. She soon grew tired of him, dumped him, which was when he moved on to Sky Mangel, a girl with black and blue hair, to whom he lost his virginity in 2004. He had a dispute with a guy named Travis Dean about space to put up posters, which resulted in Travis threatening Boyd's family. In school, he was moved from Year 9 to Year 10, but after Year 12, he flunked his exams and got a job at a gym, whose manager persuaded him to take up body building and take human growth hormones. He was mistakenly diagnosed as having Adolescent Schizophrenia but the symptoms were due to a large frontal lobe brain tumour. This was removed, but the surgery put him in a coma for a short while, but he woke up after his grandfather, Bobby came to see him. He broke up with Sky after he found out she kissed Dylan Timmins while he was in a coma. He offered to help Kayla raise her baby, Ashley, but eventually they realised that it wouldn't have worked, as Kayla was still in love with Ashley's father, Anthony. He then started a relationship with Janae Timmins. He has decided to pursue a career in medicine, and in his second attempt at his VCEs he came in the top one percent of students in the state to win a place at medical school. He is now married to Janae. However as she was under 18 at the time and was unable to obtain parental consent she doctored her birth certificate to make her appear to be of age. Thus the marriage is technically invalid. Their families know about this, but the authorities don't. After both were kicked out of their homes, they moved into the "House of Trouser". Boyd then got into an argument with a customer at The Scarlet Bar who turned out to be a superior at Erinsborough Hospital. They resolved their differences when she was exposed operating under the influence of drugs. After Max hit Cameron Robinson with his car mistaking him for Robert Robinson, Cameron was rushed to hospital but didn't survive. Max was overwhelmed with guilt having inadvertently killed Cameron. After this Max was being physicologicaly tortured by Elle Robinson. Believing that he was crazy, Max commited himself to Erinsborough Hospital and had a mental breakdown he left town on a bus leaving a family picture. Boyd is eager to find Max having denied knowing him when be asked by another Medical student. Lonely after he lost Max, Boyd went to Tasmania, where he met a girl and ended up commiting adultery.
