Henry Swoboda (29 October 1897, Prague – 13 August 1990, Rossinière) was a Czech-American conductor and musicologist and, with James Grayson and Mischa Naida, co-founder of U.S. ''Westminster Records'' which flourished in the late 1940s and throughout the 1950s as a purveyor of classical music recordings. Swoboda made many recordings for ''Westminster'' and the ''Concert Hall'' record label, including the first commercially available recording of Bruckner's Sixth Symphony. He worked from 1927 to 1931 for Electrola, Berlin and later as conductor for Radio-Prag. He was a Guestprofessor at University of Southern California between 1931 and 1939 and emigrated in 1939 to the United States.
