Sir Thomas Overbury is a 1723 tragedy by the British writer Richard Savage.
It is based on the life of Thomas Overbury an associate of the Jacobean royal favourite Robert Carr whose apparent murder while incarcerated in the Tower of London provoked a trial and major scandal.
Savage played the title role himself when it was staged at the Drury Lane Theatre.
Aaron Hill produced and revised the text of the play.
[3] Historian Richard Holmes said the work is "clumsy, sub-Shakespearean, historical melodrama".
