The Martyr of Antioch is an oratorio (originally described as "A Sacred Musical Drama") by the English composer, Arthur Sullivan. It was first performed on 15 October 1880 at the Leeds Triennial Music Festival, having been composed specifically for that event. It formed the first half of the programme, followed by a performance of Beethoven's Mass in C and Schubert's Song of Miriam in the second half. Sullivan was musical director of the Leeds Festival in 1880 and conducted the performance. The Martyr of Antioch is based on the 1822 epic poem by Henry Hart Milman (the Dean of St. Paul's) concerning the martyrdom of St. Margaret of Antioch in the 3rd century. The libretto was adapted for the occasion by Sullivan's friend and collaborator, the librettist W. S. Gilbert. Their fifth opera, The Pirates of Penzance, had premiered in London earlier that year.
