Francesco Sbarra (18 February 1611 – 20 March 1668) was an Italian poet and librettist. Born in Lucca, he spent most of his career in Austria where he wrote the librettos for entertainments and operas at the courts of Archduke Ferdinand Charles in Innsbruck and Emperor Leopold I in Vienna. Sbarra was member of the Accademia degli Oscuri and the Accademia degli Accesi of Lucca. He corresponded with Michelangelo Torcigliani. His most famous libretto, Il pomo d'oro, was set to music by Antonio Cesti and performed at the imperial court in Vienna in 1668.
