Aureliano in Palmira is a dramma serio per musica in two acts by Gioachino Rossini to an Italian libretto by Felice Romani. It was first performed at La Scala in Milan on 26 December 1813.

The opera is set in Palmyra, Syria, during the Roman Empire. The plot revolves around the conflict between the Roman emperor Aureliano and the Palmyran queen Zenobia. The opera showcases Rossini's early compositional style, characterized by lyrical melodies and dramatic ensembles. Although not initially a success, the opera contains musical elements that would later be developed in Rossini's more famous works.
