The Sleeping Car is a three-part farce play by William Dean Howells, first published in the United States in 1883. Set entirely over 24 hours in a railway sleeping car, it concerns a woman's late-night confusion after her husband and brother appear prematurely. Though described as one of Howells' minor works, it reflects tendencies toward literary realism also found in his better-known fiction.
