Going Some is a 1908 play written by Paul Armstrong and Rex Beach, based on some short stories by Beach. It is a farce with four acts, three settings, and fast pacing. The play's action covers one week, and concerns a Yale man with no athletic ability roped into running a footrace for the honor of New Mexico ranch hands and the affection of a Smith College girl.

The play was first produced by Liebler & Company in March 1908, with staging by George F. Marion. The Shuberts bought the rights a year later and Paul Armstrong re-staged it. It had a short tryout in New Haven, Connecticut before premiering on Broadway in April 1909. Its first season on Broadway ended in late June 1909, after 96 performances.

The play was later adapted for a silent film of the same title in 1920.
