L'equivoco stravagante (título original en italiano; en español, El curioso malentendido) es una ópera bufa en dos actos con música de Gioacchino Rossini y libreto en italiano de Gaetano Gasbarri. Se estrenó en el Teatro del Corso de Bolonia el 26 de octubre de 1811.
L'equivoco stravagante was first performed at the Teatro del Corso, Bologna, on 26 October 1811. It was only performed three times before the police closed the production down, possibly because the text touched on the subject of army desertion. The music of the overture was subsequently lost.
