Il Principe (The Prince) is a political treatise by the Florentine public servant and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli. Originally called De Principatibus (About Principalities), it was written in 1513, but not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death. The treatise is not representative of the work published during his lifetime, but it is the most remembered, and the work responsible for bringing "Machiavellian" into wide usage as a pejorative term. It has also been suggested by some critics that the piece is, in fact, a satire.

Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527) var filosof, statsman och historiker. Han skrev sin mest berömda bok Fursten år 1513 (tryckt 1532) efter det att han fråntagits befattningen som sekreterare i Florens utrikesstyrelse. Under sina år i denna tjänst hade han tillfälle att på nära håll studera flera av de ledande personligheterna inom europeisk politik.
