The German Musicological Society (German: Gesellschaft für Musikforschung, abbreviated to GfM) is an academic society of musicologists and institutes active in study, research and teaching in Germany.

[1] The society was founded in 1946, continuing the work of a predecessor institution.

In addition, it sees itself as an organ for communicating findings from the field of music to the public.

[2] The society publishes the scholarly journal Die Musikforschung by Bärenreiter-Verlag and also collaborates with the publishers Breitkopf & Härtel, Henle, Laaber [de], Georg Olms, and Schott.

Every year a scientific conference with symposia, lectures and events of the specialist groups is organized; every four years another one is held as the "Internationaler Kongress der Gesellschaft für Musikforschung".
