""The Daughter of St. Mark"" is a three-act grand opera seria written by Michael William Balfe and first performed in 1844.

Balfe's score is known for its lush melodies and dramatic choral passages, and the opera has been praised for its emotional intensity and vivid portrayal of Venetian life and culture.
