徐松榮（1941-2012），客籍作曲家。出生於苗栗頭份。自小家中不錯，受到父親影響而喜愛音樂，1957年就讀臺灣省立臺北師範學校（今國立臺北教育大學）音樂科，在此遇到他學習作曲的貴人康謳，啟發其創作。1965年，許常惠將徐松榮等5人組成了五人樂集，鼓勵發表作品。1967-1968年間，亦參加民歌採集運動，深受啟發。1960年代起至2001年退休，一生從事穩定教職工作，亦默默耕耘作曲，相當難能可貴；又自覺深負使命，蒐集許多客家民謠，並從中篩選適合的題材進行創作，寫下深具風味的客家音樂。1987年起徐松榮卸下繁重的樂隊指導工作，開始了他創作的黃金期，曲風多元極富內涵，《客家風的國樂合奏曲》、《火車係麼个》（兒童合唱曲）、《伐木山歌》（直笛獨奏與重奏）等，皆為其留下動人的樂章。
