黃梅戲，也稱黃梅調或採茶戲，是中國五大戲曲劇種之一。其起源於唐初（西元618~704），有1400年的歷史。2006年黃梅戲入選為第一批中國國家級非物質文化遺產。

黃梅戲起源於湖北、安徽、江西三省交界處黃梅一帶的採茶調。清末（西元1898~1912）傳入鄰近的安徽省懷寧縣地區，與當地民間藝術結合，並用安慶方言歌唱和念白，逐漸發展為一個新生的戲曲劇種。

黃梅戲的唱腔類別主要有花腔和平詞。花腔以演小戲為主，富生活氣息和民歌風味。平詞則常用大段的敘述、抒情，韻味豐富，如行雲流水。黃梅戲主要伴奏樂器為高胡，黃梅戲裏的化妝，相對於京劇和崑曲，較為寫實化。

黃梅戲的角色行當包括正旦、正生、小旦、小生、花旦、小丑、老旦、老生、花臉、刀馬旦、武二花等行。雖有分工，但並無嚴格限制，演員常可兼扮其他行當。

黃梅戲的表演載歌載舞，質樸細致，真實活潑，富有生活氣息，以崇尚情感體驗著稱，具有清新自然、優美流暢的藝術風格。黃梅戲中有許多為人熟知的優秀劇目，而以《天仙配》、《女駙馬》、《牛郎織女》、《梁山伯與祝英台》、《夫妻觀燈》、《打豬草》、《紡棉紗》等最具代表性。
