Bela Fleck (born July 10, 1958 in New York City) is an American virtuoso banjo player. He is most well known for his work with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, which he describes as "a mixture of acoustic and electronic music with a lot of roots in folk and bluegrass as well as funk and jazz". Bela Fleck was drawn to the banjo when he heard Earl Scruggs play the theme song for the television show Beverly Hillbillies.

Bela Fleck names Chick Corea, Charlie Parker and the aforementioned Earl Scruggs as influences. He regards Scruggs as "certainly the best" banjo player of the three-finger style.
