The Female of the Species is a comic play by Joanna Murray-Smith first performed in 2006. The play is a satire about celebrity feminists, with a plot loosely inspired by a real-life incident in 2000, when author Germaine Greer was held at gunpoint in her own home by a disturbed student.

The play was premiered in Australia, where it had several productions in 2006 and 2008. A London production opened in the West End in 2008.
