A viola concerto is a concerto contrasting a viola with another body of musical instruments such as an orchestra or ensemble. Throughout music history, especially during the , Classical, and eras, viola was viewed mostly as an ensemble instrument. Though there were a few notable concertos written for the instrument in this time period, these instances were quite rare and the instrument continued to be ignored. However, during the 20th century, the instrument was revitalized thanks to the work of a number of violists and composers, which led to the commission and composition of many more viola concertos, expanding the repertoire significantly.

Early history of the viola concerto
Early examples of violas taking solo roles in orchestral settings include Johann Sebastian Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 6, scored for two solo violas, Georg Philipp Telemann's Concerto in G major, and 's Viola Concerto in D major. Arguably, one of the first works to use the viola without caution was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante, scored for solo violin and viola. Although not much work was written for the viola alone in the Classical or Romantic periods, with only a few example concerto-like pieces emerging such as 's Romanze, 's Harold en Italie, or Johann Nepomuk Hummel's Potpourri, the viola concerto would see significant growth from the late 1800s.

Revitalization of the viola concerto
A number of violists and composers are credited with revitalizing the viola concerto and expanding its repertoire, with much of it centralized in Britain in the early 1900s.

British violist is often credited with popularizing the viola as a solo instrument in the early 20th century through advocating for the composition of new pieces, as well as arranging works for the viola. A number of works were dedicated to Tertis including concertos by and Edwin York Bowen, and other concertante works such as 's Phantasy for Viola and Orchestra. Tertis also commissioned pieces such as Ralph Vaughan Williams' and 's for Viola and Small Orchestra, in addition to gaining permission to transpose works for the viola, such as 's Cello Concerto and 's Caprice and Elegy for Cello and Orchestra.

was also an important figure in establishing the role of the viola as a soloist, having a number of concertos dedicated to him by composers like and . He also commissioned works as well, with the most famous being Béla Bartók's posthumously completed Viola Concerto.

Other contemporary composers, such as and Krzysztof Penderecki, have also composed pieces for Viola and Orchestra. Orchestrations of accompaniments from chamber works into concertante works have also become more popular, with more well known transcriptions being those of Shostakovich's Viola Sonata or Rebecca Clarke's Viola Sonata.
