Cymbeline is a play by William Shakespeare. Critics often put it in a grouping called Shakespeare's Late Romances along with Pericles, Prince of Tyre, The Tempest, and The Winter's Tale.

The King, Cymbeline himself, is based on a British chieftain, Cunobelinus, who reigned before the time of the Roman invasion.

Though once held in very high regard, Cymbeline has lost popularity over the past century. Some Wikipedians have held that, written late in Shakespeare's career, the play was a personal joke of Shakespeare's, parodying his earlier works. Both William Hazlitt and John Keats numbered it among their favorite plays.
