Squire Trelooby is a 1704 farce by the writers William Congreve, John Vanbrugh and William Walsh. All were members of the Kit-Cat Club and another member Samuel Garth wrote a prologue. It was inspired by the French play Monsieur de Pourceaugnac by Molière.

In 1734 James Ralph wrote The Cornish Squire, a reworking of the play which was staged at Drury Lane Theatre.^[2] It was considered a great success, and was followed by another version The Brave Irishman by Thomas Sheridan at Dublin's Smock Alley Theatre in 1744.^[3]
