Richard Wüerst (22 February 1824 – 9 October 1881)[1] was a German composer, music professor and pedagogue.

Wüerst was born and died in Berlin. He was a pupil of Carl Friedrich Rungenhagen at the Prussian Academy of Arts and a pupil of Felix Mendelssohn's. He later taught in the conservatory of Theodor Kullak (what would soon become the Stern Conservatory) and edited the Neue Berliner Musikzeitung (from 1874 to 1875).[2] One of his notable students was Heinrich Hofmann.[citation needed] See: List of music students by teacher: T to Z#Richard Wüerst.
