Štefan Hoza (20 October 1906, Smižany – 6 April 1982, Czechoslovakia) was a Slovak operatic tenor, actor, librettist, educator, music publicist, and historian. Hoza worked as a teacher before studying singing at the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava. Just weeks after graduating, Hoza made his professional opera debut at the Slovak National Theatre (SNT) in Bratislava in 1932. He remained at the theatre for the next three decades. He also pursued further vocal training in Prague (1932), Milan (1933), and Vienna (1936).
