The Dragoons of Villars (Les dragons de Villars) is an opéra-comique in three acts by Aimé Maillart.

It was premiered by the Théâtre Lyrique in Paris on 19 September 1856. Les dragons de Villars is set in a French mountain village near the frontier with Savoy towards the close of the war in the Cevennes in 1704. This version of the overture for concert band is scored by Clifford P. Barnes.
