Carl August Nielsen (9. juni 1865 i Sortelung, Nørre Lyndelse, på Fyn – 3. oktober 1931 i København) var en dansk komponist og dirigent. Carl Nielsen kom fra landlige omgivelser og ydmyge kår på Fyn. Carls far var maler og lansbymusikant, og Carl var ikke ret gammel før hans far lærte ham at spille violin. Han var meget talentfuld og fik friplads på Musikkonservatoriet. Han er omtalt som sin tids største musikbegavelse i Norden og han endte som Danmarks mest fejrede og berømte komponist. Han var et menneske, der både rummede det folkelige og det finkulturelle. Derfor appellerer hans musik og fortælling direkte til de fleste musikelskere. Carl Nielsen komponerede sceneværker, orkestermusik, korværker, solosange, kammermusik og anden instrumentalmusik.
Et af hans kendte værker er: "Tågen letter" (The fog is lifting) (visit link)
