Johann Strauss II (Viena, 25 de outubro de 1825 — Viena, 3 de junho de 1899), também conhecido como Johann Strauss, Jr., o mais novo, o Filho (alemão: Sohn), Johann Baptist Strauss, foi um compositor austríaco de música ligeira, particularmente música de dança e operetas. Compôs mais de 500 valsas, polcas, quadrilhas e outros tipos de música de dança, bem como várias operetas e um ballet. Em sua vida, ele era conhecido como "Rei da Valsa" e foi, em grande parte, responsável pela popularidade da valsa em Viena durante o século XIX. Strauss tinha dois irmãos mais novos, Josef e Eduard Strauss , que se tornaram compositores de música ligeira, bem como seu pai, embora eles nunca foram tão conhecidos como o seu irmão mais velho. Algumas das mais famosas obras de Johann Strauss incluem "O Danúbio Azul", "Kaiser-Walzer", "", e "Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka". Entre suas operetas, Die Fledermaus e Der Zigeunerbaron são as mais conhecidas.
