The Beggar's Daughter of Bethnal Green is a five-act comedy play by the Irish writer James Sheridan Knowles.

On its opening night the audience began heckling in the second act, and by the third act, their dissatisfaction had become so tumultuous that the stage manager "implored a patient hearing, pledging himself that if the opinion of the audience was so decidedly against the piece at its conclusion, it should be withdrawn".

[2] In 1834 a revised version entitled The Beggar of Bethnal Green was staged at the Victoria Theatre.

The original Drury Lane cast included Charles Mayne Young, William Farren, John Pritt Harley, John Liston, Henry Gattie, Paul Bedford, Harriet Elizabeth Savill and Mary Ann Knight.

Knowles dedicated the published version to the Scottish politician Kirkman Finlay.
