Neighbourhood Watch is a 2011 play by Alan Ayckbourn.
The play premiered on 13 September 2011 at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough.

[3] Critics were generally favourable with Michael Billington from The Guardian calling it "highly ambitious" and "biliously funny"[2] while The Daily Telegraph and The Stage also gave it positive reviews.
[4] A performance starring Paul Lavers was held at the Gordon Craig Theatre in Stevenage in May 2018.
