The Charition mime is a Greek theatre play found in Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 413, a possibly incomplete and untitled manuscript discovered at Oxyrhynchus, Egypt and dated approximately to the 2nd century CE. The play is named after its protagonist, Charition, and was likely performed in Egypt. Scholars have suggested that the Greek comedy can be more accurately described as a farce or burlesque rather than a mime.
