The London Prodigal is an English Renaissance play, most notable for its inclusion among the Shakespeare apocrypha.

A city comedy set in London, it tells the story of a prodigal son learning the error of his ways.

In 1994, Jonathan Hope proposed, based on linguistic evidence that the play is a collaboration by two authors.

In order to spy on his son, Flowerdale Senior feigns death and appears disguised as a servant.

Matthew Flowerdale forges a will in which he pretends to be a wealthy man bequeathing all his fortune to Sir Lancelot Spurcock.
