Society's Child was a music club located in the former Dale's Cellar at 1927 7th Avenue North in downtown Birmingham near the Birmingham Greyhound Station in the late 1960s.

It was owned by guitarist David Walbert. He and singer Jackie Dicie formed a folk duo that served as a house band.

"Society's Child" was the name of a song written by Janis Ian in 1965 about an interracial romance. The song became a controversial nationwide hit in 1967.
