Amadeus Webersinke (1920–2005) was a German pianist and organist.
The son of a secondary school teacher, he attended high school in Jesenik. Webersinke studied from at the Institut für Kirchenmusik in Leipzig with Karl Straube, Johann Nepomuk David, and Otto Weinreich. He was a lecturer at the Felix Mendelssohn College of Music and Theatre and until 1953, he worked mainly as an organist, and later only as a pianist.
Webersinke was particularly devoted to Bach's organ and piano works and also gave concerts on the clavichord. He recorded Max Reger's Piano Concerto (issued in 1973). In 1966, he assumed a professorship at the Hochschule für Musik Carl Maria von Weber Dresden.
