Lilit Pipoyan (; born June 16, 1955) is an Armenian singer, songwriter, composer, and architect.

Pipoyan belongs to a circle of modern Armenian musicians whose works present an alternative to the traditional folk, classical, spiritual and pop music.

Biography Lilit Pipoyan was born in Yerevan to a family of artists. Her father was an Armenian painter, Honored Artist of the Armenian SSR. In her teenage years she graduated from the Spendiaryan specialized music school and later studied architecture, receiving her PhD in Theory and History of Armenian Architecture.

Pipoyan's compositions are based on Armenian poetry and folklore. She is fond of medieval secular songs, for which she creates modern arrangements or new melodies when the originals are lost, with distinctly Armenian character. For the first few albums, her instrumental arrangements of the songs have mainly been with solo guitar or piano, but as time progressed, she incorporated a diverse array of wired instruments into her compositions. She sings and lives in Yerevan with her husband and two children.
