Perchuhi Partizpanyan-Barseghyan (Armenian: Պերճուհի Պարտիզպանյան-Բարսեղյան, 1886 – 18 May 1940) was an Armenian pedagogue, writer and humanitarian worker. She was one of the first three women elected to serve as a member of the parliament with the formation of the First Republic of Armenia in 1919. After the fall of the republic, she briefly relocated to Bulgaria, before continuing her literary career in Paris. She received recognition for her short stories from the American anthologist, Edward J. O'Brien. She worked in the Nansen International Office for Refugees in Paris trying to assist Armenians who had been affected by the Armenian genocide.
