Odissea veneziana is the fifth studio album by Italian chamber orchestra Rondò Veneziano, released in 1984 by Baby Records. In France, it was released as L'odyssée de Venise and in the UK as Odissea.

This album should not be confused with another Odissea veneziana, which is a reissue of Casanova (1985), but with the addition of two tracks from this album.[1]

It has attained particular fame in the United Kingdom, where the instrumental section has been used as the theme tune for the BBC's television coverage of Horse Racing.
