Learning to Walk is a compilation album by UK indie band The Boo Radleys, released by Rough Trade Records in 1992.
It is a collection of the band's first three EPs, Kaleidoscope (1990), Every Heaven (1991) and Boo! Up (1991), as well as two previously unreleased covers, "Alone Again Or" and "Boo! Faith". The band's 1992 EP Adrenalin is not represented, as it was released on a separate record label.
The covers of "Alone Again Or" (originally by Love) and "Boo! Faith" (New Order's "True Faith", retitled) are taken from the band's second and third Peel Sessions, from 1991.
