Kosmische Musik (music of the cosmos) is a genre of experimental electronic music that was born in Germany in the late 1960s to early 1970s; the term often mistakenly refers to the whole German electronic and prog rock scene, including so-called "Krautrock".

Also known as "Berlin School Electronic," it is characterized by longform, minimal compositions which heavily emphasize timbre and texture, but which still retain a sense of melody and rhythm, as opposed to ambient music, which is more incidental in nature. Kosmische musik is composed primarily (though not exclusively) for analog synthesizers, and typically omits percussive instruments entirely.

An outgrowth of Krautrock, the genre was heavily influenced by the earlier electronic experiments of Stockhausen, and around 1970 diverged from the more percussive and rhythm-oriented, Düsseldorf-based krautrock scene which included Can, Cluster, Kraftwerk, and Neu!.

Beginning in the early 1970s, the genre predated ambient and "new age" music, and can be seen as a direct influence on both, and several of Brian Eno's and other artists' proto-ambient albums bore a stylistic similarity to kosmische musik.
