'''Gregor Aichinger''' (c. 1565 – 21 January 1628) was a German composer.

==Life==
He was [[organist]] to the [[Fugger]] family of [[Augsburg]] in 1584.<ref name="Harvard Bio">{{cite book|editor-last=Randel|editor-first=Don Michael|title=The Harvard biographical dictionary of music|year=1996|publisher=Belknap Press of Harvard Univ. Press|location=Cambridge, Mass.|isbn=0-674-37299-9|pages=[https://archive.org/details/harvardbiographi00rand/page/8 8–9]|chapter=Aichinger, Gregor|chapter-url-access=registration|chapter-url=https://archive.org/details/harvardbiographi00rand/page/8}}</ref> In 1599 he went for a two-year visit to [[Rome]] for musical, rather than religious reasons, although he had taken [[holy orders]] before his appointment under the Fuggers. [[Karl Proske|Proske]], in the preface to vol. 2 of his ''Musica Divina'', calls him a priest of [[Regensburg]], and is inclined to give him the palm for the devout and ingenuous mastery of his style. Certainly this impression is fully borne out by the beautiful and somewhat quaint works included in that great anthology.{{sfn|Chisholm|1911}}
