Il ratto della sposa (The Kidnapped Fiancée) is an opera buffa in three acts by Pietro Alessandro Guglielmi.
The Italian libretto was by Gaetano Martinelli.
It was first performed at the Teatro San Moisè in Venice in the autumn of 1765.
A revised version was staged in London in 1768.
The opera was successful and there were productions in succeeding decades, some entitled Lo sposo rapita or Il vecchio deluso.
