Shye Ben-Tzur, born in 1975 in New York, United States, is a composer known for his work in world music.

In 2010, his second album Shoshan ('Rose' in Hebrew) received critical acclaim, ranking Number 10 in Songlines world music magazine and number 5 album of the year for non-Bollywood music by Times of India Chennai. Shye Ben-Tzur collaborated with various artists including Shubha Mudgal, Fernando Pérez, Jonny Greenwood and The Rajasthan Express, resulting in the 2015 album Junun, produced by Nigel Godrich.
