Brigitta is an 1843 novella by the Austrian writer Adalbert Stifter. It is about a man's visit to a friend's estate in Hungary, where he gradually learns about the friend's complicated relationship with a peculiar woman named Brigitta.[1][2][3][4]

The novella first appeared in 1843 in the literary almanac Gedenke Mein! Taschenbuch für 1844, published by Pfautsch & Co. in Vienna and Leipzig. A revised version was published in Stifter's fourth volume of Studien in 1847.[5]

The story was the basis for the 1982 Austrian and Hungarian television film Brigitta directed by Wolfgang Glück[6] and the 1994 German feature film Brigitta directed by Dagmar Knöpfel.[7]
