Auto da barca do inferno es una obra de teatro del dramaturgo portugués Gil Vicente, considerada una de las obras más importantes del Renacimiento portugués. Escrita en portugués antiguo, la obra presenta una visión satírica de la sociedad de la época, con personajes que representan diferentes estamentos sociales y vicios. A través de un lenguaje ingenioso y lleno de simbolismo, Vicente critica la corrupción y la hipocresía presentes en la sociedad portuguesa del siglo XVI.

Gil Vicente, called the Trobadour, was a Portuguese playwright and poet who acted in and directed his own plays. Considered the chief dramatist of Portugal he is sometimes called the "Portuguese Plautus," often referred to as the "Father of Portuguese drama" and as one of Western literature's greatest playwrights. Also noted as a lyric poet, Vicente worked in Spanish as much as he worked in Portuguese and is thus, with Juan del Encina, considered joint-father of Spanish drama.
