Andromaque est une tragedie en cinq actes et en vers de Jean Racine ecrite en 1667 et representee pour la premiere fois au chateau du Louvre le 17 novembre 1667. Elle comporte 1648 alexandrins.
L'argument de la piece se resume en une phrase: Oreste aime Hermione, mais elle aime Pyrrhus, qui aime Andromaque, qui aime encore le souvenir de son mari, Hector, tue pendant la guerre de Troie.
Racine s'inspire de chants de L'Iliade d'Homere, notamment pour la figure d'Andromaque. Son histoire avait deja ete traitee par Euripide dans ses pieces Andromaque et Les Troyennes, cette derniere ayant ete adaptee plus tard par Seneque, mais Racine cite dans sa premiere preface L'Eneide de Virgile comme source principale de reference.
