Alexandre Levy (10 November 1864 – 17 January 1892) was a Brazilian composer, pianist and conductor. Born in São Paulo, he pioneered a fusion of classical composition with Brazil's popular folk music and rhythms. His hometown grants a prestigious award in his name. His Jewish family came from France and was musically active. His father, Henrique Luís Levy, was a musician who founded Casa Levy, a leading music store in São Paulo. Darius Milhaud, in his ballet Le Bœuf sur le toit, borrowed a theme from Levy's Tango Brasileiro.
