(Carl Fredrik) Edmund Neupert (1842 - 1888) was a Norwegian pianist and composer.
He was a teacher at the Sternsches Konservatorium in Berlin from 1866-1868. He then moved to Copenhagen, where he held a position at the town's conservatory for two years. In 1882 he moved to Christiania (today Oslo), where he taught at a children's piano school. Neupert was regarded as an outstanding pianist and piano pedagogue; often compared to Franz Liszt. Neupert was the soloist for the premiere of Grieg's Piano Concerto in A Minor, in the Casino Theater in Copenhagen, April 3, 1869.
Among Neupert's compositions, the '24 Concert-Etüden' and the '24 Octav-Etüden' for piano are highly regarded.
