The Kaffir Diamond is an 1888 play. It had its New York City debut at the former Broadway Theatre on September 11, 1888.[1][2][3] Though the audience provided "unbounded applause" on opening night,[4] reviews of the play were negative,[5][6] and it played unsuccessfully for only five weeks, concluding on October 13, 1888.[7][8]

The play was intended as a starring vehicle for Louis Aldrich. Edward J. Swartz, a Philadelphia newspaperman with the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph wrote the play, and David Belasco worked on revising it and assisted in getting the play staged.[9][10]
