Honoria and Mammon is a Caroline era stage play by James Shirley, first published in 1659 though not produced until 2013. It is a revision and expansion of Shirley's earlier morality play A Contention for Honor and Riches (c. 1630, printed 1633), and illustrates the persistence of influence of archaic forms of drama through the final phase of English Renaissance theatre.
