Dolf Brandmayer (real name: Adolf Brandmayer; * April 13, 1913 in Bohemian Leipa, today Česká Lípa/Czech Republic; † April 14, 2000 in Lüneburg) was a German singer, composer and lyricist.
Dolf Brandmayer graduated in law, but took private lessons in piano playing, singing and composition on the side. He began his artistic career as a pianist and singer with the German-language department of Czech radio and became known in Germany through tours and radio appearances beginning in 1938. He got a recording contract with ''Deutsche Grammophon'' and had engagements with Willi Schaeffers' ''Kabarett der Komiker'', among others.

During the Second World War, Brandmayer first participated in troop support with his own front stage, then he became head of the dance department at the Soldiers' Radio Station in Milan. After the war, he initially remained in Italy and had success there as a composer, also with Italian hits.

From 1958, Brandmayer continued his career in Germany as a composer and orchestra leader until 1963. After that he was the musical director of a film company in Hanover.

Brandmayer had his great successes in light music. In addition to two operettas ''Herzen auf Urlaub'' and ''Frau ohne Standesamt'', he wrote numerous Schlager (Hits), including evergreens such as ''Josefine'' (lyrics: Peters-Arnold) and ''Droben auf der Alm'' (lyrics: Bruno Balz). In total, he composed and/or wrote the lyrics for over 100 songs. But he was also very successful as an interpreter of titles by other authors, such as ''Gnädige Frau, wo war'n sie gestern'' (lyrics: Hans Fritz Beckmann, music: Friedrich Schröder) or ''Wenn ein junger Mann kommt'' (lyrics: Willy Dehme, music: Franz Grothe).
