Kalkabrino is a ballet in three acts and three scenes, with choreography by Marius Petipa and music by Ludwig Minkus. The story was written by Modest Ilyich Tchaikovsky.

The ballet was first presented by the Imperial Russian Ballet on February 13, 1891, on the Julian calendar (25 February 1891 in the Gregorian calendar) at the Imperial Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Its premiere was a benefit performance for its lead ballerina Carlotta Brianza, who had created the role of Princess Aurora in Petipa's ballet The Sleeping Beauty the year before.
