Jaroslav Vodrážka (May 14, 1930, Martin – April 16, 2019, Pastviny) was a Czech organist and noted organ improviser.

He was born in the Slovak town of Martin and, in 1938, moved to Prague. He studied organ at the Prague Conservatory and the Academy of Performing Arts. In 1958, he won the gold prize in an improvisational competition in Haarlem, the Netherlands. His pupils include Vladimír Roubal, Jaroslav Tůma, Vladimír Jelínek and Markéta Procházková.
