Ben-Zion Witler (1907–1961), also Ben-Tsion Vitler, BenZion Wittler, was a Jewish singer, actor, coupletist, comedian and composer.
At the age of six Witler moved with his family from Belz, Galisia, to Vienna, where he received a strict Chasidic religious upbringing.
In 1919, at the age of 12, he joined the Freie jüdische Volksbühne theater in Vienna (1919–1922; no connection to the New York Folksbiene), secretly and under an alias, fearing his family's reaction.
Some of his many other starring roles were in Yanko the Gypsy, A Millionaire's Caprice, The American Litvak, The Brave Officer, The Bandit Gentleman, The Strength of Love, The Bride with Three Brothers, The Golden Bridegroom, The Threshold of Joy, It's Hard to be a Jew by Sholom Aleichem, Ansky's The Dybbuk, Jacob Mikhailovich Gordin's God, Man and Devil, and David Pinski's Yankel the Smith.
He recorded hundreds of songs; his hits included: In the German TV drama Die Zweiflers (S1.E2, 2024) a tape of music by Ben-Zion Witler is pulled out from the glove compartment of the car of the Yiddish-speaking character Symcha Zweifler and played.
