The Trial of Lee Harvey Oswald is a 1967 American play based on a fictionalized trial of John F. Kennedy's assassin.[1]

A troubled production chronicled in William Goldman's 1969 book The Season: A Candid Look at Broadway, the play premiered on Broadway on Sunday, November 5, 1967 and closed after nine performances.[2]

It was the Broadway debut of actor Peter Masterson in the title role, who got good notices, better than that accorded the play as a whole.[3]

Robin Wagner designed the set.[4]
