Vinko Globokar (7 July 1934, Anderny, France) is a Slovene composer and trombonist. He lived in France until 1947, when he moved to Ljubljana to study at the music school and conservatory, gaining his diploma in 1954. In 1955 he began studies at the Paris Conservatoire, where he won first prizes for trombone (1959) and chamber music. He studied composition and conducting with Leibowitz (1959–63) and composition with Berio in Berlin (1965).

In 1966 Globokar joined a performing group for new music at SUNY (Buffalo), and in 1968 he was appointed to teach the trombone at the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik (Köln, Germany) and composition at the Köln courses for new music. He founded the Free Music Group in 1969 and a quartet, New phonic art, also in 1969, both of which perform contemporary music, including many of his own works. He also performed in Stockhausen's group, and from 1973 to 1979 was head of vocal-instrumental research at Ircam (Paris, France).
