David Heinrich Garthoff (c.1670–1741) was a German composer and church/court musician associated with Weißenfels. Sources describe him first as a court wind player and later as a court organist, with an additional role as music director at the Gymnasium Augusteum in Weißenfels. His surviving footprint includes a large body of cantatas reported in modern summaries, and a small group of organ works preserved in manuscript. In the Schneeberger Clavierbuch he is represented by six short preludes (in C major, C minor, D major, D minor, E major and F major), while an autograph cover survives for the cantata Aus der Tiefe rufe ich Herr zu Dir (1700). In modern performance life he appears in repertoire drawn from the Schneeberg manuscript tradition, including the Querstand recording Das Schneeberger Orgel- und Clavierbuch um 1705 performed by Enrico Langer, which programmes several of his preludes.
