The York Mystery Plays, more properly the York Corpus Christi Plays, are a Middle English cycle of 48 mystery plays or pageants covering sacred history from the creation to the Last Judgment. They were traditionally presented on the feast day of Corpus Christi (a movable feast on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday, between 23 May and 24 June) and were performed in the city of York, from the mid-fourteenth century until their suppression in 1569. The plays are one of four virtually complete surviving English mystery play cycles, along with the Chester Mystery Plays, the Towneley/Wakefield plays and the N-Town plays. Two long, composite, and late mystery pageants have survived from the Coventry cycle and there are records and fragments from other similar productions that took place elsewhere.

La première interprétation connue remonte à 1376, tandis que la dernière avant leur suppression a lieu en 1569. Le cycle connaît un renouveau au XXe siècle. Il en subsiste un manuscrit de la fin du XVe siècle, conservé à la British Library. C'est l'un des quelques cycles de mystères qui nous est parvenu presque intégralement, avec ceux de , de et de .

I drammi furono scritti nella seconda metà del 1300 da autori ignoti e rappresentati nella città di York fino al 1569. Per quanto risulti che in molte città inglesi queste rappresentazioni fossero comuni, il ciclo di York è uno dei soli quatto cicli di misteri rimasti ai giorni nostri insieme al , quello di Chester e quello di .
