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).
From 1905 until 1920 he was a violinist with the Pittsburgh Symphony and New York Symphony, joining the Detroit Symphony in 1920 as an assistant conductor.
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.
