Uriel Nespoli (born 1883, date of death unknown) was an Italian conductor born in Naples. A pupil of Leopoldo Mugnone, Nespoli specialized in Italian opera. In 1931 he was brought to the United States to serve as music director of the Houston Symphony, which was returning from a 13-year hiatus, having disbanded in 1918 due to World War I and general lack of funding. After conducting concerts in the spring of 1931 and the entirety of the 1931–1932 season, Nespoli was dismissed from his post in Houston. He continued his conducting career in New York.
