Entertaining Mr Sloane is a play by the English playwright Joe Orton. It was first produced in London at the New Arts Theatre on 6 May 1964. It pits Sloane, a brooding, dangerous lodger against his hosts. As Sloane prowls the house, his charm works on everyone but it cannot help him shake his dark past and shadowy impulses.

In South Africa the play was produced by Rhodes University at the National Arts Festival, 1984, directed by Simon Heginbotham, featuring Janice Bowen, Guy de Lancey, Andrew Wilson and David Austin.

Directed by Robert Whitehead in 1986 for a performance at Upstairs at the Market.
