Young Woodley is a 1925 play by the British writer John Van Druten.

It concerns a schoolboy at a top British public school who falls in love with his headmaster's wife and is eventually expelled.

Because of its negative depiction of public school life, and its controversial subject matter, the play originally was banned in the United Kingdom and only staged in 1928.

[2] The ban in Britain was lifted, and the play ran for over 400 performances in the West End, making a star of its lead Frank Lawton.

A 1928 silent version Young Woodley, directed by Thomas Bentley, was made at Cricklewood Studios but never released.
