  • Androkles i lew (ang. Androcles and the Lion) – dramat George'a Bernarda Shawa z 1912 roku. (pl)
  • «Андро́кл и лев» (англ. Androcles and the Lion) — социально-философская пьеса-притча Бернарда Шоу в двух действиях с прологом. В этой пьесе драматург выразил своё отношение к христианству, близкое к философии Льва Толстого, и к возможным путям прогресса человечества. Биограф Хескет Пирсон охарактеризовал эту маленькую пьесу как шедевр, персонажи которого «воплощены более ярко и жизненно, чем в любой другой пьесе Шоу». Пьеса была дважды экранизирована. Русский перевод (для шеститомника пьес Шоу) выполнила Галина Островская. (ru)
