Emil Muench (November 1866-?) was a German-American singer and choral director. He emigrated to the United States in 1889, settling in Newark, New Jersey and then in West Hoboken (Union City), where he worked as a professional singer. From 1901 to 1916, he recorded numerous German songs for Columbia, Victor, and other labels; he and the Columbia Military Band recorded Die Wacht am Rhein in Philadelphia on 18 May 1905. He also worked as choral director of the Rothmänner Gesang Verein von Hudson County in 1912 and of choruses in West Hoboken and West New York.
