Aleksey Fedorovich Kozlovsky (Russian: Алексе́й Фёдорович Козло́вский; 15 October [O.S. 2 October] 1905, Kiev – 9 January 1977, Tashkent) was a Soviet composer, conductor, folklorist, and academic. He was a collector of Uzbek and Karakalpak folk music which he synthesized with European music traditions in his own compositions. His most well-known works are Ferganskaya syuita Lola and the vocal-symphonic poem Tanovar; the latter of which is based on the Uzbek folk song Kora soch.
