Đỗ Nhuận (December 10, 1922 in Hải Dương May 18, 1991 in Hà Nội) was a Vietnamese classical composer. He is known for the first homegrown Vietnamese opera - Cô Sao "Miss Sao." This and other more-or-less revolutionary themed musicals were premiered by the Vietnam National Opera and Ballet (VNOB) at the Grand Opera House. In 1996, he was posthumously awarded the Hồ Chí Minh Prize for music.

Don't confuse with an earlier Đỗ Nhuận (born 1440), a high ranking politician, a notable poet, member of Tao Đàn nhị thập bát tú - a famous association of 28 poets under the command of King Lê Thánh Tông.
