Otakar Ševčík (March 22, 1852 - January 18, 1934) was a Czech violinist.

Ševčík was known as a soloist and an ensemble player (including his playing with Eugène Ysaÿe). He was famous as a violin teacher in Salzburg, Vienna, Prague, Kharkiv, Kyiv, London, Boston, Chicago, New York. His violin studies and violin methods are still important as major teaching tools.
