We analyze the temperature dependence of the entropy of the spin-1/2 Heisenberg model on the three-dimensional simple-cubic lattice, for both the case of antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic nearest neighbor exchange interactions. Using optimized extended ensemble quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we extract the entropy at the critical temperature for magnetic order from a finite-size scaling analysis. For the antiferromagnetic case, the critical entropy density equals 0.341(5)$k_B$, whereas for the ferromagnet, a larger value of 0.401(5) $k_B$ is obtained. We compare our simulation results to estimates put forward recently in studies assessing means of realizing the antiferromagnetic N\'eel state in ultra-cold fermion gases in optical lattices.
