Aribert Reimann (born 4 March 1936 in Berlin) is a German opera composer, pianist and accompanist.

After studying composition, counterpoint and piano (under, among others, Boris Blacher) at Berlin's Hochschule für Musik, Reimann took a job as a repetiteur at the Deutsche Oper in Berlin. His first appearances as a pianist and accompanist were towards the end of the 1960s.
