Pagliacci is an Italian opera in a prologue and two acts, with music and libretto by Ruggero Leoncavallo. It is the composer's only opera that is still widely performed. Opera companies have frequently staged Pagliacci with Cavalleria rusticana by Pietro Mascagni, a double bill known colloquially as "Cav and Pag".
Pagliacci premiered at the Teatro Dal Verme in Milan on 21 May 1892, conducted by Arturo Toscanini, with Adelina Stehle as Nedda, Fiorello Giraud as Canio, Victor Maurel as Tonio, and Mario Ancona as Silvio. Nellie Melba played Nedda in London in 1893, soon after the Italian premiere, and it was given in New York on 15 June 1893, with Agostino Montegriffo as Canio.

A Pagliacci (a. m. bohócok) , magyarul (a pájáccsó kiejtést elrontva) Bajazzók, Ruggero Leoncavallo kétfelvonásos operája. A szöveget is a zeneszerző írta. A bemutató 1892. május 21-én volt a milánói Teatro Dal Vermében, Arturo Toscanini vezényletével, 1 óra és 10 perc játékidővel.
A cselekmény Montalto mellett, Calabriában játszódik 1865 és 1870 között, Nagyboldogasszony napján. A szöveg valóban megtörtént eseményen alapszik, sőt Leoncavallo maga is jelen volt azon az előadáson, amelyen a véres jelenet lejátszódott.
