迎驾剧（英文：Royal entry），最初为庆祝仪式，凯旋归来。

于1283年，伦敦迎接爱德华一世征服苏格兰而举行演出。那时候，演戏时在城口搭戏台。开始时有1个，后来增加至6个，途中戏台无固定需要设立几个。当有迎接仪式时，入口就有预定路线，到教堂弥撒，表演剧种通常属于神话传说、寓言故事、历史故事、由故事叙述来书写一篇演讲诗篇。内容多半强调歌功颂德，故事演出的每一站内容均独立，但是主题一定相同。

The Royal Entry, also known by various names, including Triumphal Entry, Joyous Entry, embraced the ceremonial and festivities accompanying a formal entry by a ruler or his representative into a city in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Period in Europe. The entry centred on a procession carrying the entering prince into the city, where he was greeted and paid appropriate homage by the civic authorities. A feast and other celebrations would follow.
