Uriel Nespoli (January 15, 1884 – June 1973) was an Italian conductor born in Naples.
He was considered a National Treasure to Italy, and in 1931 he was secretly brought to the United States for safety.
He first served as music director of the Houston Symphony, which was reforming after a 13-year break, having dissolved in 1918 owing to World War I, and from general lack of funding.
After conducting concerts in the spring of 1931 and for the entirety of the 1931–1932 season, Nespoli was dismissed from his post in Houston.
He directed several future opera singers to her for lessons at her Villa Pace in Baltimore.
