The Burglar and the Lady is a 1905 play written by Langdon McCormick that features the characters Sherlock Holmes and A. J. Raffles, which were originally created by other authors.

Like many of McCormick's plays, The Burglar and the Lady was primarily a touring show and first premiered on October 1, 1905, at the State Street Theatre in Trenton, New Jersey.

Former World Heavyweight boxing champion "Gentleman Jim" Corbett played Raffles.

The reviewer also expressed concern that "the delights of thievery are exhibited in a way calculated to impress youths of criminal inclinations with a desire to emulate the successful burglar".

Instead of foiling the other fellow with a right cross to the jaw and a left hook to the solar plexus, the actor uses nothing more persuasive than a pair of large .44-caliber revolvers.
