Harutyun Merdinyan (Armenian: Հարություն Մերդինյան; born August 16, 1984) is an Armenian male artistic gymnast and a member of the national team. A pommel horse specialist, he is a two-time European champion from 2016 and 2022 and a two-time world championships bronze medalist from 2015 and 2022. His 2016 European gold was the first artistic gymnastics continental title for independent Armenia.[2]

He participated at the 2015 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Glasgow,[3] and qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics,[1] where he finished seventh in the pommel horse final after being limited by a wrist pain and fatigue.[4]
