Mel Powell (born Melvin Epstein) (February 12, 1923 – April 24, 1998) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning American composer, and the founding dean of the music department at the California Institute of the Arts. He served as a music educator for over 40 years, first at Mannes College of Music and Queens College, then Yale University, and finally at CalArts. During his early career he worked as a jazz pianist.

Mel Powell made his initial reputation as a jazz pianist and arranger, notably with the Benny Goodman band, but spent much of his life teaching classical composition and composing his own work in serial forms. Powell was born Melvin Epstein to Russian Jewish parents in a house overlooking Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, a proximity which fed his early love of baseball. He showed an equally strong interest in music, however, and a precocious talent for the piano  . The Return of Mel Powell Swing 1987.
