Faust är en teaterpjäs, skriven av Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Faust består av de två verken (1808) och (1832), baserade på pjäsen Faust (c:a 1592) av Christopher Marlowe. Det finns även en tidig ofullständig version som kallas Urfaust. Goethe baserar dramat på det mytiska stoffet om Doktor Faustus, som sades ha sålt sin själ till djävulen. I Goethes drama utvidgas historien till en parabel, som gäller hela mänskligheten.
