Trial by Jury is a comic Gilbert and Sullivan operetta in one act (the only single-act Savoy Opera). The music is by Sir Arthur S. Sullivan and the libretto by Sir William S. Gilbert. It was first produced in March 1875 in London at the Royalty Theatre, where it ran for 300 performances. It is still very popular for performance today, though its short length means that it rarely forms a full evening's entertainment.

Since the work contains no spoken dialog, some do not consider Trial by Jury to be an operetta but rather a comic opera.
