The Brandenburgers in Bohemia (Czech: Braniboři v Čechách) is a three-act opera, the first by Bedřich Smetana. The Czech libretto was written by Karel Sabina, and is based on events from Czech history. The work was composed in the years 1862–1863. Smetana and Sabina wrote the opera at a time of great Czech patriotism, with the pending opening of a new theatre for production of Czech operas in Prague.

The opera received its first performance at the Provisional Theatre (or the "Interim Theatre"^[1]), Prague, on 5 January 1866, and the first performance was a success.^[2] The first UK performances were in April 1978 by Hammersmith Municipal Opera.^[3] The first professional production in the UK, conducted by Vilém Tauský, was not until 1994.^[4]
