'''''The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade''''' ({{langx|de|Die Verfolgung und Ermordung Jean Paul Marats dargestellt durch die Schauspielgruppe des Hospizes zu Charenton unter Anleitung des Herrn de Sade}}), usually shortened to '''''Marat/Sade''''' ({{IPA|fr|ma.ʁa.sad|pron}}), is a 1963 play by [[Peter Weiss]]. The work was first published in German.

Incorporating dramatic elements characteristic of both [[Antonin Artaud]] and [[Bertolt Brecht]], it is a depiction of class struggle and human suffering that asks whether true revolution comes from changing society or changing oneself.
