Erich Wolfgang Korngold (29. kvetna 1897 Brno – 29. listopadu 1957 Los Angeles, Spojené státy americké) byl rakousko-uherský skladatel, který pozdeji prijal obcanství USA. Ackoliv v dobe, kdy zemrel, byl jeho pozdne romantický styl považován za již prežitý, jeho hudba je v poslední dobe prehodnocována a postupne znovu probouzí zájem. Spolu se skladateli jako Max Steiner a Alfred Newman se radí mezi zakladatele filmové hudby. Když byla Korngoldovi v roce 1938 udelena Cena Akademie za hudbu k filmu Dobrodružství Robina Hooda, bylo to poprvé, co Oscara získal skladatel, a nikoliv šéf hudebního studia (jak se stalo napríklad v roce 1936, kdy za Korngoldovu víteznou partituru získal cenu Anthony Adverse).

EN:
Erich Wolfgang Korngold (May 29, 1897 – November 29, 1957) was an Austrian composer born in Moravia, Austria-Hungary (present-day Czech Republic) and naturalized in the United States in 1943.

While his late Romantic compositional style was considered well out of vogue at the time he died, his music has more recently undergone a reevaluation and a gradual reawakening of interest.

Along with Max Steiner and Alfred Newman, he is considered one of the founders of film music. His 1938 Academy Award for his score to The Adventures of Robin Hood marked the first time an Oscar was awarded to the composer rather than the head of the studio music department (as had occurred, for example, with Korngold's award-winning score to Anthony Adverse in 1936.
