Le Fils naturel, ou Les épreuves de la vertu (English: The Natural Son) is a 1757 play by Denis Diderot. Diderot followed the play with a treatise on theatre entitled Entretiens sur le fils naturel; this, and Diderot's other publications on theatre, was largely responsible for the play attaining canonical status.
