Sylvia Caduff (born 7 January 1937) is a Swiss orchestral conductor.[1][2]

In the 1960s she was assistant to Leonard Bernstein at the New York Philharmonic, one of the first women to conduct this orchestra.[1]

In the late 1970s she became the first woman to hold a post of principal conductor (Chefdirigentin) for a German orchestra, when she took up a post in Solingen.[3]

On 15 October 1978 she conducted the Berlin Philharmonic, as a guest conductor substituting for Herbert von Karajan who was unwell. She was the seventh woman to conduct the orchestra since its foundation, and the only one between 1930 and 2008.[4]
