I Rantzau (The Rantzau) is an opera in four acts by Pietro Mascagni (1892), based on a libretto by Guido Menasci and Giovanni Targioni-Tozzetti, based on the play Les Rantzau (1873) by French writers Erckmann and Chatrian, after their novel (1882) Les Deux Frères (The Two Brothers).

It was first performed at the Teatro della Pergola in Florence, Italy on 10 November 1892; the singers included Mattia Battistini, Hariclea Darclée, and Fernando de Lucia.[1]

The overture is popular.
