A Chaste Maid in Cheapside is a city comedy written c. 1613 by the English Renaissance playwright Thomas Middleton. Unpublished until 1630, and long-neglected afterwards, it is now considered among the best and most characteristic Jacobean comedies.
The play was originally staged by the Lady Elizabeth's Men.[1] The 1630 quarto was published by the bookseller Francis Constable.
