"The play's the thing / Wherein I'll catch the conscience of the King" are the closing lines of Act II of William Shakespeare's Hamlet. The last words have since been used to refer to:

• Conscience of the King (novel), a historical novel by Alfred Duggan
• "The Conscience of the King" (TOS episode), an episode of Star Trek: The Original Series
