Panurge is an opera in three acts by Jules Massenet to a French libretto by Georges Spitzmuller and Maurice Boukay after Rabelais. It was first performed at the Théâtre de la Gaîté in Paris on April 25, 1913, nearly a year after Massenet's death.

It is one of Massenet's least known operas and does not have a modern performance history. It is also one of three operas by Massenet to have premiered posthumously; the others are Cléopâtre (1914) and Amadis (1922).
