Carl Emil Paul Lincke (7 November 1866 – 3 September 1946) was a German composer. His march Berliner Luft ("Berlin Air") is the unofficial anthem of Berlin.

The march Berliner Luft comes from the 1922 revision of Lincke's 1899 operetta Frau Luna about a trip to the moon in a hot air balloon, where an adventurous party of prominent Berliners meet Frau Luna and her court. The march was originally from Lincke's 1904 two - act burlesque Berliner Luft from which music was taken for the 1922 re-write. Other Lincke operettas include Im Reiche des Indra (In the Kingdom of Indra) and Lysistrata. The latter includes the song "Das Glühwürmchen," known in English as "The Glow - Worm". It was originally translated into English by Lilla Cayley Robinson in the early 20th century, but famous American lyricist Johnny Mercer later expanded and greatly revised her lyrics. His version was a hit for the Mills Brothers in 1952 and has been performed by others.

He also composed the wedding dance played in the 1997 movie Titanic which is played while the ship is going down and in the dining room in earlier scenes.

Berliner Luft is one of the traditional Encores of the Berlin Philharmonic orchestra.
