Alessandro Curmi (17 October 1801 – April 1857) was a Maltese composer and pianist.
His first opera, Gustavo d'Orxa, was received enthusiastically at the Teatro Nuovo in Naples in 1827.
According to Curmi's personal friend and fellow composer Paolino Vassallo, Curmi was invited to London to compose three operas for the Royal Opera, London while on a brief visit to Paris (where he wrote the cantata Sancte Paule) in 1843.
Curmi returned to Paris in the winter of 1845 with the intent of composing a grand opera.
Instead Curmi composed the orchestral fantasia in six sections, La rivoluzione, which was also heard in Malta in 1853.
