Tigran Gevorki Chukhajian (1837 – March 11, 1898) was an Ottoman Armenian composer and conductor, and the founder of the first opera institution in the Ottoman Empire. Chukhajian was born in Istanbul and studied at Gabriel Yeranian's class, as well as classes in Milan. Along with other Armenian intellectuals of that period he fought for the development of national culture, organized Armenian musical societies, theatres, schools, papers and free concerts. He is an author of pieces for piano, songs and romances, chamber and symphonic works, and operas. His most successful opera was Leblebici hor-hor agha (1875).
