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, but was revived at the St. Etienne Festival in 1994 under conductor Patrick Fournillier. It is one of three operas by Massenet to have premiered posthumously; the others are Cléopâtre (1914) and Amadis (1922).
