Vladimír Helfert (March 24, 1886, Plánice (near Klatovy) - March 18, 1945, Prague) was an important Czech musicologist in the interwar period. Although his early career as a music critic was clouded by the negative influence of his teacher, Zden¿k Nejedlý, with whom he studied at Charles University. After accepting a post in 1922 as professor of musicology at Masaryk University in Brno, he went against Nejedlý's teachings and championed the music of Leo¿ Janá¿ek.
