The Marriage of Mr. Mississippi (German: Die Ehe des Herrn Mississippi) is a play by the Swiss writer Friedrich Dürrenmatt. The play was written in 1950, but Dürrenmatt continued to revise it until 1980. It premiered on 26 March 1952 at the Munich Kammerspiele, directed by Hans Schweikart. The play was adapted into a 1961 film with the same title.

A translation into Afrikaans, titled Die Huwelik van Mnr. Mississippi was presented by CAPAB Afrikaans Drama, directed by Pieter Fourie, in the Nico Malan Theatre, October 1973.
