Juraj Beneš (born March 2, 1940 in Trnava, died October 1, 2004) was a Slovak composer, teacher and a pianist.

A graduate of the University for Music arts (Vysoká Škola Muzických Umení) in Bratislava and pupil of Ján Cikker, Beneš ranks among the best known Slovak composers. Since 1983 he taught at the same university.

Beneš's work followed current trends and spanned genres. He was best in composing operas such as Cisárove Nové Šaty (The Emperor's New Clothes), Skamenený (Petrified), and Hostina (Celebration) and often employed the human voice together with unusual instrument combinations as in Trichloroethylene Šenské Zbory (Three Woman Choir).
