Society's Child was a music club located in the former Dale's Cellar at the corner of Park Place (formerly 7th Avenue North) and 19th Street North in downtown Birmingham, near the Birmingham Greyhound Station.

It was opened in 1968 by guitarist David Walbert. He and singer Jackie Dicie formed a folk duo that served as a house band. The club did not sell alcohol, and was open to minors. It closed in the early to mid-1970s.

"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.
