'''Spyridon Xyndas''' (Σπυρίδων Ξύνδας) ([[1812]]-[[1896]]) was a [[Greeks|Greek]] composer and guitarist; his last name has also been transliterated as "Xinta", "Xinda", "Xindas", and "Xyntas". His opera ''O ypopsifios vouleftis'' (''The Parliamentary Candidate'') is said to have been the first opera written on a Greek libretto. Little is known about him other than that he was a native of [[Corfu]], and that he died in [[Athens]]. Much of his music is believed to have been lost in the bombing of Corfu during [[World War II]].
