Monsieur chasse! (Monsieur is hunting!) is a three-act farce by Georges Feydeau, first produced in Paris in 1892. A married man disguises his absences conducting an extramarital affair in Paris as shooting trips in the country, but an evening's chaotic events expose his deception.

The play was Feydeau's first success since his first full-length play, Tailleur pour dames, six years earlier. It ran for 144 performances and has been revived frequently in the 20th and 21st centuries.
