In the First Folio, the plays of William Shakespeare were grouped into three categories: comedies, histories, and tragedies; and modern scholars recognise a fourth category, romance, to describe the specific types of comedy that appear in Shakespeare's later works.

Plays This alphabetical list includes: everything listed as a comedy in the First Folio of 1623; one play (Cymbeline) widely regarded as a comedy but listed among the tragedies in the First Folio; and the two quarto comedies (The Two Noble Kinsmen and Pericles, Prince of Tyre) which are not included in the Folio but generally recognised to be Shakespeare's own. Late romances and problem plays are marked accordingly.
