Sagittarius Ponderosa is a 2016 play by American writer MJ Kaufman. It tells the story of Archer, who is transgender and returns home to help care for his father.

It has been performed at the New Conservatory Theatre Center in San Francisco, by the National Asian American Theater Company in New York and at Austin Rainbow Theatre in Texas. It is one of eight plays to be featured in the 2021 volume The Methuen Drama Book of Trans Plays.
