The Family Upstairs is a play in three acts by Harry Delf. It has a medium-sized cast, one setting, and quick pacing. It is a domestic comedy, centered around the five-member apartment-dwelling Heller family, their endless bickering, and the elder daughter's suitor.

The original performance was produced by Sam H. Harris, and staged by Sam Forrest. The production, which starred Ruth Nugent, Clare Woodbury, and Walter Wilson, ran on Broadway from August through October 1925 before going on tour. It had a brief revival on Broadway during October 1933, and was adapted for motion pictures on three occasions.
