Giovanni Battista Draghi (composer)

1640 – buried 13 May 1708) was an Anglo-Italian composer and keyboard player.

Draghi was brought to London in the 1660s by King Charles II who was trying, unsuccessfully, to establish Italian opera in England.

In 1673 Draghi was made first organist of the queen's Catholic chapel in Somerset House.

Draghi was awarded a pension by King William III in 1698.
