Schatz-Walzer ("Treasure Waltz"), Op. 418, is a Viennese waltz by Johann Strauss II composed in 1885. The melodies in this waltz were drawn from Strauss' operetta Der Zigeunerbaron ("The Gypsy Baron"), which premiered to critical acclaim on 24 October 1885. Der Zigeunerbaron, a Hungarian-influenced work, remained Strauss' best-remembered operetta after Die Fledermaus. The waltz version was first performed on 22 November that year in the concert hall of the Vienna Musikverein, with Eduard Strauss conducting.

Strauss often presented music from his operettas as new and independent orchestral works, following the example of fellow operetta composer Jacques Offenbach. Offenbach frequently performed the overture of a new stage work the premiere of the work, which exposed the music to a wider audience and promoted the sales of piano transcriptions of it (sheet music).
