Victor Kolar (February 12, 1888 – June 16, 1957) was a Hungarian-born American composer and conductor.
Kolar was born in Budapest and studied at the Prague Conservatory, where he was a pupil of Otakar Ševčík (violin) and Antonín Dvořák (composition).
He remained with the orchestra until 1941, eventually assuming the post of principal conductor.
Active as a composer as well, he wrote a symphony, some tone poems and a few orchestral suites.
Of these last, his Americana won first prize in a 1914 contest sponsored by the Illinois State Teachers Association.
