Vera Molnár (born Gács; 5 January 1924 – 7 December 2023) was a Hungarian media artist who lived and worked in France. Molnár is widely considered to have been a pioneer of computer art and generative art and was also one of the first women to use computers in her art practice. Born in Hungary, she studied aesthetics and art history at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts. In the 1940s and 1950s, she created non-representational paintings. By 1959 she was making combinatorial images; in 1968, she would use a computer to create her first algorithmic drawings.

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. In 1976, her first solo exhibition in the gallery of the London Polytechnic took place.
