'''Vom Donaustrande''' (By the Shores of the [[Danube]], op. 356) is a [[polka]] by [[Johann Strauss II]] written in 1873. Its themes are drawn from his successful [[operetta]], [[Der Karneval in Rom]] which premiered in [[Vienna]]'s [[Theater an der Wien]] on 1 March 1873.

The themes from the operetta where the polka presents itself is under Acts 2 and 3. The quick tempo of the polka is the marking of the popular "schnell-polka", which was another form of polka in quick steps as different from the [[polka-mazurka]] and the French polka.
