Jakob Reiner (b Altdorf, nr Weingarten, Württemberg, before 1560; d Weingarten, 12 Aug 1606) was a German composer. According to the dedication of his Liber cantionum sacrarum (1579) he was educated as a boy at the abbey of Weingarten. He continued his studies under Lassus in Munich in 1574–5, and on completing them returned to the abbey, where he spent the rest of his life, without, however, taking holy orders. Here he enjoyed high esteem as Kapellmeister, teacher of music and composer.
