Miss Sara Sampson (Miß Sara Sampson) is a play by the Enlightenment philosopher Gotthold Ephraim Lessing. Written in 1755 while the author was living in Potsdam it is seen by many scholars to be one of the first bourgeois tragedies. In the same year it was represented at Frankfurt-on-the-Oder and was very well received. It was afterwards translated and acted in France where it also met with success.
