Adolf Emil Büchner (December 7, 1826 in Osterfeld – June 9, 1908 in Erfurt) was a German conductor and bandmaster.

He wrote a number of compositions, including operas, chamber music, choral works, and symphonies.

He was the ninth student to attend the newly formed conservatory, and was exempt from paying tuition.

Büchner and the court orchestra performed with Franz Liszt in 1867 in Meiningen, at the festival of the "General German Music Society".

In 1880 he gave his successor, Hans von Bülow, the chapel next to a known top European orchestra.
