Vera Molnár (born 1924) is a Hungarian media artist living and working in France. Molnar is widely considered to be a pioneer of computer art and generative art, and is also one of the first women to use computers in her art practice.Born in Hungary, she studied aesthetics and art history at the Budapest College of Fine Arts.

In the 1960s she founded two groups in France concerned with the use of technology within the arts: the Groupe de Recherche d’Art Visuel and Art et Informatique. 1976 took place her first solo exhibition in the gallery of the London Polytechnic.Her work has been widely collected by major museums; in 2007 she was named a Chevalier of Arts and Letters in France.
