Konrad Ameln (6 July 1899 – 1 September 1994) was a German hymnologist and musicologist, who wrote standard works about Protestant church music.

After his return he received his Abitur without an examination and began studying musicology with Friedrich Ludwig at the University of Göttingen in 1920.

There he achieved the doctorate in 1924 with a dissertation on Geschichte der Melodien "Innsbruck, ich muss dich lassen" and "Ach Gott, vom Himmel sieh darein".

From 1930 to 1939 Ameln was, with interruptions, a private lecturer for Protestant church music at the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität in Münster.

Since he refused to exclude his communist and social democratic students from the final examinations in 1933, he was briefly imprisoned, as were some of his colleagues.

From 1949 to 1957 he taught hymnology and history of Protestant church music at the Landeskirchenmusikschule der Evangelischen Kirche im Rheinland [de].

Ameln became known as the editor of Bach's motets, and works by George Frideric Handel and Leonhard Lechner, which were published by Bärenreiter-Verlag.

On behalf of the Georg-Friedrich-Händel-Gesellschaft [de] he published the first volume of the new Hallische Händel-Ausgabe with Alexander's Feast, HWV 75.
