Rienzi, der Letzte der Tribunen (WWV 49) (Rienzi, the Last of the Tribunes) is an early opera by Richard Wagner in five acts, with the libretto written by the composer after Bulwer-Lytton's novel of the same name (1835). The title is commonly shortened to Rienzi. Written between July 1838 and November 1840, it was first performed at the Hofoper, Dresden on October 20, 1842, and was the composer's first success.

The opera is set in Rome and is based on the life of Cola di Rienzi (1313–1354), a medieval Italian populist figure who succeeds in outwitting and then defeating the nobles and their followers and in raising the power of the people. Magnanimous at first, he is forced by events to crush the nobles' rebellion against the people's power, but popular opinion changes and even the Church, which has earlier urged him to assert himself, turns against him. In the end the populace burns the Capitol, in which Rienzi and a few adherents have made a last stand.

Despite Wagner's reservations, Rienzi remained one of his most successful operas until the early 20th century. In Dresden alone, it reached its 100th performance in 1873 and 200th in 1908 and it was regularly performed throughout the 19th century in major opera houses throughout Europe and beyond, including those in America and England in 1878/9. Recent productions have been rare, both because of the large forces required and because the work is so atypical of 'received' Wagner to contemporary audiences.

The US premiere took place on 4 March 1848 at the Academy of Music in New York and was followed on 27 January 1879 by the first UK performance at Her Majesty's Theatre in London. A staging at the English National Opera in London, produced by Nicholas Hytner in 1983, placed the hero in the context of 20th century totalitarianism. A production by David Pountney at the Vienna State Opera in 1999 set the work in the 'near future'. Of this production Pountney wrote:

Wagner invested the musical realization of Rienzi with the unashamed extravagance and tasteless exaggeration of a Las Vegas hotel [...] only the self-consciously deliberate and unabashed use of kitsch could match this musical egomania. In recent time, performances at the Theater Bremen were given in April/May 2009 and at the Deutsche Oper Berlin and Oper Leipzig in April/May 2010.
