Paul Siefert (variants: Syfert, Sivert, Sibert) (23 May 1586 – 6 May 1666) was a German composer and organist associated with the North German school. He was born in Danzig to his father's second wife and named after his father (died 1604), who was a procurator. The Danzig city council gave scholarships to Samuel Scheidt and him to study with Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck in Amsterdam from 1607 to 1610; in the autumn of that year, he returned home where he became assistant organist of the Marienkir
