Abstract: We introduce a novel symplectic reduction scheme for

C^{i} n f t y (M, o m e g a)

that extends in a straightforward manner to the multisymplectic setting. Specifically, we exhibit a reduction of the

L_{i} n f t y

-algebra of observables on a premultisymplectic manifold

(M, o m e g a)

in the presence of a compatible Lie algebra action

m a t h f r a k g c u r v e a r r o w r i g h t M

and subset

N s u b s e t e q M

. In the symplectic setting, this reproduces the Dirac, 'Sniatycki-Weinstein, and Arms-Cushman-Gotay reduced Poisson algebra whenever the Marsden-Weinstein quotient exists. We examine our construction in the context of various examples, including multicotangent bundles and multiphase spaces, and conclude with a discussion of applications to classical field theories and quantization.
