Leaves of Glass is the sixth adult stage play by Philip Ridley. It premiered at the Soho Theatre in London, England, on 3 May 2007.
The play was commissioned and directed by Lisa Goldman after being greatly impressed by Ridley's previous adult stage play Mercury Fur. The production was Lisa Goldman's first in her tenure as artistic director of the Soho Theatre. Like Mercury Fur the play starred Ben Whishaw in its premiere production.
It is the second entry in Ridley's unofficially titled "Brothers Trilogy", preceded by Mercury Fur and followed by Piranha Heights.
