Notable people with the surname include British director Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, Trainspotting, 127 Hours), American actress Lara Flynn Boyle (The Practice, Men in Black II, Wayne's World), and American actor Peter Boyle (Everybody Loves Raymond, While You Were Sleeping, Young Frankenstein).
