''Ubu Roi'' (translated as ''King Ubu'' or ''Ubu the King'') is a play by French writer Alfred Jarry. It was first performed in Paris at the Théâtre de l'Œuvre, causing a riotous response in the audience as it opened and closed on December 10, 1896. The play is a grotesque and satirical piece of theatre, often considered a precursor to the Theatre of the Absurd and Surrealism. It is the first of three stylized burlesques in which Jarry satirizes power, greed, and bourgeois pretentiousness, through the character of Père Ubu, a gluttonous and vulgar person who becomes king.

The character of Ubu Roi was inspired by a school teacher whom Jarry had known, and the play's language is a mix of sophisticated jargon and childish scatological humor, which was revolutionary at the time. Jarry's creation is often seen as a forerunner to the anti-hero archetype in modern literature and drama. The play's opening word, "Merdre!" (a corruption of "Merde," meaning "Shit"), became notorious and emblematic of the spirit of the work and of Jarry's irreverent attitude towards art and life.

''Ubu Roi'' challenges traditional theatrical conventions through its use of puppetry, masks, and its departure from naturalistic dialogue and structure. The play's legacy includes its influence on the Dada and Surrealist movements, and it has been associated with the avant-garde art movements of the 20th century. Jarry's work on ''Ubu Roi'' is often cited as a significant milestone in the evolution of modern theatre, and it has inspired countless adaptations, interpretations, and homages in various artistic mediums since its controversial debut.
