Thomas Zehetmair (born 23 November 1961, Salzburg) is an Austrian violinist and conductor. He studied at the Salzburg Mozarteum, where both of his parents taught. His festival debut was at age 16. He was in master classes with Nathan Milstein and Max Rostal.

In 1994, Zehetmair formed a string quartet which bears his name. The Zehetmair Quartet performs all works entirely from memory, and learns one new programme a year. Zehetmair has made several recordings for ECM, both as soloist and with his quartet.

Zehetmair later developed a parallel career in conducting. In November 2001, he was named Music Director of the Northern Sinfonia, his first conducting post, starting with the 2002-2003 season, for an initial contract of 3 years and 6 weeks of concerts each season. In August 2005, he extended his contract for another 3 years through 2008. He continues as the orchestra’s music director as of the 2008-2009 season.

Thomas Zehetmair holds an honorary doctorate from the Music Academy Franz Liszt in Weimar. He is married to the violist Ruth Killius, who also plays with the Zehetmair Quartet.

Einer der größten Geiger seiner Generation und mein Liebling unter den Lebenden. Kann einfach alles, selbst Vivaldis 4 Jahreszeiten sind wieder sensationell. Herausfordernd seine neue Paganini-Platte. Auch sein Quartett ist überragend. Ein Rätsel bleibt: Warum seine spektakuläre Aufnahme der Kreutzer-Sonate, die es jahrelang für Spottgeld in einer Billigreihe gab, nicht mehr greifbar ist. Diese Aufnahme stellt fast alle Konkurrenzaufnahmen in den Schatten (das glaubt man mir aber erst, wenn man es selbst gehört hat)
