Jimmy Boyd (dates and places of birth and death unavailable) was a two-term Democratic member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from Bossier City in northwestern Louisiana.[1] He represented Bossier Parish from 1944 to 1952, sandwiched between the tenure of long-term Representative Ford E. Stinson of Benton.[2]

When Stinson did not seek a second term in the House 1943 because of his military commitment, Boyd succeeded him and won a second term by seventy-seven votes in the 1947 primary election over Herman "Wimpy" Jones,[2] a restaurateur from Bossier City and Minden in neighboring Webster Parish. Jones rebounded in 1956 to serve a single term in the Louisiana State Senate for Bossier and Webster parishes with his narrow victory over Harold Montgomery, a businessman from Doyline in southwestern Webster Parish.
