La Tarentule (English: The Tarantula) is a French ballet-pantomime by Casimir Gide, Eugène Scribe, and Jean Coralli which was premiered in the late 1830s during the Romantic period.

The pantomimic ballet La Tarentule was presented in two acts, with Casimir Gide composing the music, Eugène Scribe providing the libretto, and Jean Coralli crafting the choreography.

The first act presented the village: a post office with a street-facing balcony on the left, a church door on the right, and a backdrop of the main road and mountains as day broke.

The second act showcased a room in the postmistress house, featuring an alcove at the back, side doors, a mirror-topped toilet on the right, and a fireplace with a Madonna above it on the left.

A large armchair stood near the fireplace, a lamp illuminated the room, and a clock face adorned the background.
