Eduard Lassen (13 April 1830 – 15 January 1904) was a Belgian-Danish composer and conductor.
Although of Danish birth, he spent most of his career working as the music director at the court in Weimar.
A moderately prolific composer, Lassen produced music in a variety of genres including operas, symphonic works, piano works, lieder, and choral works among others.
His most successful pieces were his fine vocal art songs for solo voice and piano which often used elements of German and Belgian folk music.
