Blood, Sweat and Stanley Poole is a 1961 play by William Goldman and James Goldman. Both Goldman brothers had served in the army and the play is about a supply sergeant at an army post in the south.

William Goldman later recalled "we had both been in the army at the same time and it seemed like a decent enough idea and magically we got it on."

The original production starred Peter Fonda and Darren McGavin and was directed by Jerome Chodorov. It ran for 84 performances. James Caan appeared in the cast.

Fonda's performance earned him a New York Drama Critic's Circle Award.

Screen rights were sold to the America Corporation.
