Sigmund Theophil Staden (6 November, 1607 – 30 July, 1655), was an important early German composer.
Staden was born in Kulmbach, son of Johann Staden, the founder of the so-called Nuremberg school. Based in Nuremberg, he was the composer of Seelewig (1644), the first German Singspiel. The only other works of his that survive are three Friedens-Gesänge from 1651.
