Timothy Charles Buckley III (February 14, 1947 – June 29, 1975) was an experimental vocalist and performer who incorporated jazz, psychedelia, funk, soul, and avant-garde rock in a short career spanning the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Buckley often regarded his voice, which spanned up to five and a half octaves by some accounts, as an instrument, a talent most noticeable on his albums Goodbye and Hello, Lorca, and Starsailor. He was the father of singer Jeff Buckley, also known for his three-and-a-half octave voice, who died in 1997.
