The Eugene Trilogy refers to three plays written by Neil Simon: the first being Brighton Beach Memoirs, the second is Biloxi Blues, and the third being Broadway Bound. The trilogy tells the story of Eugene Jerome from his adolescence in New York City, to his time spent in basic training in Biloxi, Mississippi during the last year of World War II, and finally to the beginning of his career as an aspiring comedy writer. The trilogy is a semi-autobiographical account of Simon's own early life and career.

Brighton Beach Memoirs and Biloxi Blues were made into films, while Broadway Bound was adapted as a made-for-TV movie. The role of Eugene Jerome was played by Jonathan Silverman in Brighton Beach Memoirs, Matthew Broderick assumed the role in Biloxi Blues, and Corey Parker did the honors in Broadway Bound.
