The Booke of Common Praier Noted is a 1550 choirbook by John Merbecke. It is a musical setting of the 1549 Book of Common Prayer, the first edition of the Book of Common Prayer and the official liturgical text of the Church of England. Printed by Richard Grafton, the King's Printer to Edward VI, the book provided plainsong-like settings for the services of Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer, Communion, and others. While The Booke of Common Praier Noted fell into disuse in 1552 with the publication of the second Book of Common Prayer.

Merbecke, the organist and choirmaster of St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, was a proponent of the English Reformation.
