Ջիվան Գասպարյան (Jivan Gasparyan) was an Armenian duduk player born in Solak, Armenia, in 1928 who began his professional career in the mid-20th century as a performer and exponent of Armenian folk music. Specialising in the mournful, modal sound of the duduk, his repertoire drew on Armenian folk melodies and ashugh traditions and later encompassed international collaborations and contributions to film and concert repertoire that helped disseminate the instrument beyond Armenia.
