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, the first German Singspiel, published there in 1644. The only other works of his that survive are three Friedens-Gesänge from 1651.
