Ezequiel el Dramaturgo,^[1] también conocido como Ezequiel el Trágico, o Ezequiel el poeta, fue un dramaturgo judío que escribió en Alejandría.^[2] Naomi Yanveh sitúa su actividad literaria en el siglo III a. C.,^[3] mientras que Howard Jacobson lo pone en el siglo II a. C.^[4] La evidencia respecto a esto no es definitiva.^[5]

Su única obra conocida, Exagōgē, es la obra judeohelenística más antigua que se conoce;^[6] subsiste solo en fragmentos citados por Eusebio de Cesarea, Clemente de Alejandría y por el Pseudo-Eustacio de Antioquía. Las extensas citas de estos autores han hecho posible reconstruir 269 líneas del texto, lo que representa entre el 20 y el 25% de la obra total.^[7]

La principal edición moderna es la de Howard Jacobson, con texto bilingüe en griego e inglés.^[8]
