Hans Christoph Heyden, also Haiden (born 12. February 1572 in Nuremberg; died 8. February 1617 ibid.) was a German composer, organist and poet of the late Renaissance. Hans Christoph Heyden was the seventh child of the instrument maker and organist Hans Heyden. He was initially sent to the apprenticeship as Philipp von Ortl in a Nuremberg writing room. Soon he was promoted by his parents in music because of his musical talent. Already in 1591 he represented Isaac Hassler at the organ of the Nuremberg Hospital Church.
