Herbert Greene (June 16, 1921 – September 25, 1985) was an American conductor, music director and vocal arranger prominent on the Broadway stage in New York City.

As a boy, he studied to be an opera singer with Thomas LoMonaco, a protégé of the well-known vocal scientist, Dr. Douglas Stanley.

He was given only a walk-on role, but his rendition of New York City's Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia brought the house down, so when a replacement was needed for the lead, they offered it to Greene—who turned it down.

[1] Greene was the conductor, music director or vocal arranger of a dozen other Broadway shows, including "Guys and Dolls" and "The Most Happy Fella" for Frank Loesser.

Among them were Rex Harrison, Rosalind Russell, Angela Lansbury, Barbara Cook, Robert Preston, Don Ameche, and Judy Holliday.
