Aksel Schiøtz (1906–1975) was a Danish operatic tenor.

Schiøtz was born in Roskilde, Denmark. Having obtained an M.A. in Danish and English in 1930, he made his début at the Det Kongelige Theater, Copenhagen, in Mozart's Cosi fan tutte in 1931. At the Glyndebourne Festival in 1946, he alternated with Peter Pears in the part of 'Male Chorus' in Benjamin Britten's The Rape of Lucretia.

More than as an opera singer, however, Schiøtz is remembered for his interpretaion of Danish songs and Schubert's and Schumann's Lieder, as well as songs by Carl Michael Bellman. During the Nazi occupation of Denmark (1940–1945), he achieved great popularity for his recording of traditional Danish songs of the 19th and early 20th centuries.

From 1955 to 1957 he served as professor of music at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. Schiøtz died in Copenhagen.
