Dimitri Mitropoulos (Greek: Δημήτρης Μητρόπουλος, 1896–1960), was a Greek conductor, pianist, and composer. He received international fame both as a major conductor and composer of the 20th century. He was noted for having a photographic memory (which enabled him to conduct without a score, even during rehearsals) and for his monk-like lifestyle due to his deeply religious, Greek Orthodox beliefs.
