Reinhard Schulz (7 March 1950 – 24 July 2009) was a German musicologist and music critic.
He was educated in musicology, philosophy, theatre studies, sociology and psychology and received his doctorate in 1979 by Anton Webern.
Schulz settled in Munich as a freelance journalist and music critic and published mainly in the feuilleton of the regional and national press (including die Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, the Süddeutsche Zeitung, the Frankfurter Rundschau, the Tagesspiegel), in music journals and in well over 100 of the ARD institutions' own music programmes.
In 1980 he began teaching and music aesthetics of the 20th century at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich.
