Grandfather's Darling, or The Post-boy is the title given by F.C.L. Bosman (1980: p. 360) to a play (or plays) performed in the Theatre Royal, Cape Town, by Luscombe Searelle and his company on 24 September, 1877.

Actually, Bosman had most probably conflated the titles of to short plays, perhaps both performed on that night: Edmund Gurney's one-act play Dad's Darling and The Post-boy, a play in two acts by Craven.

For other productions, see the entries on the two plays.
