Prinz Methusalem (Prince Methusalem) is an operetta written by Johann Strauss II to a libretto by Karl Treumann, after Victor Wilder and Alfred Delacour.

It achieved a run of eighty performances.[1] The pot-pourri overture incorporates themes from the operetta, as well as other material that might have sometime been part of the planned score.
