The Bokemeyer collection is a large music collection, which is housed in the Staatsbibliothek in Berlin. It contains about 1,800 scores of music. It includes an important body of German Protestant vocal music.[1]

The collection was primarily created by composer Georg Österreich. Subsequently, other collectors contributed, including Heinrich Bokemeyer (b. March 1679 - d. 7 November 1751), after whom it is now named. Bokemeyer was a cantor, poet and composer, in addition to being a collector.[2]
