"The Boxer" is a classic folk ballad written by Paul Simon in 1968, and first recorded by Simon & Garfunkel. It is particularly known for its plaintive refrain, in which the singer sings the tune as 'li-la-li'.

It is sometimes suggested that the song's lyrics refer to Bob Dylan.

It was originally written with a verse that is not present in the Bridge Over Troubled Water version, that begins "now the years are rolling by me...". In that version, it is replaced by an instrumental solo written by Art Garfunkel. This "missing verse" was preformed in the Concert in Central Park. In keyboardist Rob Schwimmer plays the Garfunkel tune on a Theramin.
