Shakespearean comedies are one of the three (sometimes four) genres of plays by William Shakespeare. Traditionally, his works have been grouped into: tragedies, comedies, and histories, with some scholars adding a fourth category, romances.

"Comedy" in its medieval usage had a very different meaning from modern comedy. A Shakespearean comedy is one that has

1. A happy ending, usually involving marriage for all the unmarried characters, and
2. A more lighthearted style and tone.

List of Shakespearean comedies:

• A Midsummer Night's Dream
• All's Well That Ends Well
• As You Like It
• Cardenio (lost)
• The Comedy of Errors
• Cymbeline
• Love's Labour's Lost
• Love's Labour's Won (lost)
• Measure for Measure
• The Merchant of Venice
• The Merry Wives of Windsor
• Much Ado About Nothing
• Pericles Prince of Tyre
• Taming of the Shrew
• The Tempest
• Twelfth Night

Some scholars of Shakespeare break the category of "Comedies" into "Comedies" and "Romances." The plays included in the latter category would be Cymbeline, The Winter's Tale, Pericles Prince of Tyre, and The Tempest. See Shakespeare's Late Romances.
