Milan Dufek (6 May 1944 – 17 November 2005 in San Andrés, Colombia) was a Czech singer, composer, guitarist and flautist and one of the founding members of the Czech pop folk band The Rangers.
Dufek and Antonín Hájek founded The Rangers in 1964. The band was renamed Plavci (Swimmers) in 1971 due to concerns about sharing its name with "American killers in Vietnam" (the United States Army Rangers). Band member Radek Tomášek left Plavci in 1973 due to rivalry with Dufek. The band's name reverted to Rangers in 1989.
Dufek was the composer of several successful songs. He founded the Nadace Dětské (Children's Heart Foundation) to support treatment for pediatric heart defects.
Dufek died in 2005 in a scuba diving accident on the island of San Andrés, Colombia, when he collided with a boat.
