Zoltán "Zoli" Téglás is an American singer, songwriter and producer with Hungarian roots. He is the frontman of Ignite and formerly enjoyed a spell as lead singer of Pennywise, appearing on their tenth album All or Nothing. He has collaborated with other bands including The Misfits, Motörhead and Blind Myself. Téglás has another side project called Zoli Band.

Téglás toured with The Misfits in October–November 2000, filling in on vocals for the Misfits during a number of North American tour dates after Michale Graves left the band. In the Motörhead-song "God Was Never on Your Side" (on the Kiss of Death album) he added backing vocals. Since 1993 he is the lead singer of the California-based band Ignite, and he plays in another band, the Zoli Band. He replaced Jim Lindberg (who pursued a side project as lead singer for his newly formed band The Black Pacific) for a few concerts in Pennywise, after the former left the band in 2009. On February 16, 2010, Pennywise officially announced Téglás as Lindberg's replacement. Pennywise released their tenth studio album All or Nothing on May 1, 2012, their first album with Téglás on vocals. In a May 2012 interview with AMP Magazine, Téglás was asked if he was going to make another record with Pennywise. His response was, "I don't know if there is going to be a next time because we might kill each other in the process." In October 2012, Jim Lindberg rejoined Pennywise, ending Zoli's short term as lead singer (in which time Zoli also suffered back injuries, limiting how much touring he was able to do with Pennywise).

In 2006 he helped the Hungarian metalcore band Blind Myself to tour in the US; they sang a song together ("Lost in Time").
