Tibor Harsányi (June 27, 1898 – September 19, 1954) was a Hungarian-born composer and pianist. Harsányi studied at the Budapest Conservatory under Zoltán Kodály. He toured as a pianist around Europe and the Pacific, then settled in the Netherlands in 1920, before relocating to Paris in 1923. Harsányi then became one of the so-called Groupe des Quatre, along with Bohuslav Martinů, Marcel Mihalovici and Conrad Beck. He was also one of a related group of émigré composers known as the École de Paris, whose members included such composers as Alexander Tansman and Alexander Tcherepnin.
