The Gold Diggers is a play written by Avery Hopwood. It popularized the use of the term gold digger to refer to women who seek wealthy partners as opposed to the earlier usage referring to gold miners. Producer David Belasco staged it on Broadway in 1919 with Ina Claire in the lead role. It was a hit running for two consecutive seasons before going on tour.
