The Fiddler of Florence (primarily known as The Violinist of Florence and Impetuous Youth) (German: Der Geiger von Florenz) is a 1926 German silent comedy film directed by Paul Czinner and starring Elisabeth Bergner, Conrad Veidt, and Nora Gregor.

The film was shot at the EFA Studios in Berlin and on location around Lake Lugano in Italy. It premiered at the Gloria-Palast in Berlin. It reunited Bergner and Veidt who had starred together in the successful Husbands or Lovers, also directed by Czinner. Despite the cross-dressing featured in the film, it played uncensored in Germany.
