Karel Navrátil (24 April 1867 – 23 December 1936) was a Czech violinist, composer and music educator.
He was born in Prague, and studied in Vienna under Guido Adler and František Ondříček, afterward working as a composer and music teacher in Prague.
Notable students include composers Helen Hopekirk,[1] Arthur Hinton and John Powell.
Some sources have confused him with Karl Nawratil (1836-1914), attributing to him a substantial output of chamber music actually composed by the latter.
[3] Navrátil's compositions include opera, symphonies and symphonic poems, piano and violin concertos, chamber music and piano pieces, songs and choral works.
