St Patrick's Day; or, The Scheming Lieutenant is an 18th Century play by Irish playwright and poet Richard Brinsley Sheridan, first performed on May 2, 1775, at Covent Garden. It is said to have been completed by the author within two days. Sheridan wrote the two-act farce for the benefit performance of lead actor, Laurence Clinch, who had so successfully played "Sir Lucius O'Trigger" in his previous play The Rivals.
