Surfer Girl is the third studio album by The Beach Boys, released in 1963 on Capitol Records. It marked the first time Brian Wilson was credited as the group's sole producer and features early classics like the title track “Surfer Girl”, “Little Deuce Coupe”, and “In My Room”.

The album title and band name is set in an italicized version of Latin Condensed. Song names are set in what appears to be Inserat-Grotesk and another, less compressed sans that’s yet unidentified. The cover photo was taken by Capitol Records staff photographer Ken Veeder. The cover was designed by Capitols in-house art department.
