"Les collines d'Anacapri" (The Hills of Anacapri) is a musical composition for solo piano by the French composer Claude Debussy. It is the fifth piece in Debussy's first book of Préludes. Composed in 1909, it was inspired by the composer's frequent visits to the town of Anacapri, on the island of Capri in the Gulf of Naples.[1]

The piece takes an average of around three minutes to perform, and has a lively, energetic theme in the key of B major.[2]
