Heino Gaze (20 February 1908 – 24 October 1967) was a German composer.[1] He worked on more than thirty film scores during his career.

He composed "La Le Lu (nur der Mann im Mond schaut zu)", sung by Heinz Rühmann in the film Wenn der Vater mit dem Sohne. His song "Kalkutta liegt am Ganges" became a hit in the United States when it was performed by Lawrence Welk under the title "Calcutta".
