Armen Shurayi Harutyunyan (Armenian: Արմեն Շուրայի Հարությունյան; born 8 March 1964) is the former ombudsman of Armenia and Regional Representative of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in Central Asia.

In 2000 he became a member of the Commission established to assess the compatibility of the Armenian Legislation with the requirements of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) during the process of Armenia's joining the Council of Europe.

On 17 February 2006, Harutyunyan was elected for a six-year term as the Human Rights Defender (ombudsman) of Armenia, with more than 3/5 of the votes of deputies in the National Assembly.

He was the first elected holder of the post in accordance with 83.1 article of Constitution, succeeding Larisa Alaverdyan who had been appointed to the office by presidential decree in 2004.

In an extensive report in April 2008, Harutyunyan cast doubt on the credibility of the official (government) theory on the use of lethal force against thousands of supporters of opposition leader Levon Ter-Petrosian who barricaded themselves outside the Yerevan mayor’s office hours after the break-up of their 10-day sit-in in the city’s Liberty Square on March 1.
