Hieronymus Praetorius III (1614-1629) was a German organist and composer. He was born to Jacob Praetorius and Margaretha von Kampen.

The early death of the highly talented first-born son was particularly tragic. Hieronymus Praetorius III was already considered a fully qualified organist and composer when he died on the 25th of November 1629, only three days after his fifteenth birthday.[1]

A few pieces by him are known. In addition to a 6-part marriage motet Caecilia virgo gloriosa...[2], a setting of the Magnificat Primi Toni (Zellerfeld Organ Tablatures vol.1 p.36-43: Magnificat / 1 Toni / Hieronymi / Praetorij.) has been found by Klaus Beckmann to have been composed by him[3].
