Faust ballets are a set of ballets, choreographed between the 18th and 20th centuries, based on the legend of Faust. As early as 1723, London-based John Rich put on a Faust-inspired ballet pantomime called The Necromancer at the Lincoln's Inn Fields Theatre. In the 19th century several productions took Faust as their subject matter including August Bournonville's 1832 production Faust for the Royal Danish Ballet.
In 1833, Andre Deshayes' Faust premiered in London with music by Adolphe Adam.
On 12 February 1848, a Faust ballet premiered at the Ballet of the Teatro alla Scala in Milan.
