Giovanni Battista Volpe (c. 1620–1691)[1]: 41  was a Venetian composer for operas during the Baroque period. He was also known as Rovetta and Rovettino.[2][3]: 142 

Volpe was an organist at St Mark's Basilica,[1]: 41  and succeeded Giovanni Legrenziasmaestro di capella of the Cappella Marciana from 1690 until 1691.[4] His uncle was Giovanni Rovetta,[5]: 139  a composer and former maestro di capella.[5]: 135 

He collaborated with the librettist Aurelio Aureli on several projects. Volpe composed the music for the opera La costanza di Rosmonda, which premiered in Venice's Teatro Santi Giovanni e Paolo in 1659.[3]: 330  He then composed the music for the opera Gl'amori d'Apollo e di Leucotoe,[3]: 39  which premiered in the same theatre in 1663.[3]: 332  He composed at least one more opera for the theatre.[1]: 41 

Volpe was the preferred choice of composers in absentia when changes had to be made to their work.[3]: 166–7
