Aram Zaveni Sargsyan (Armenian: Արամ Զավենի Սարգսյան; born 2 January 1961) is an Armenian political figure. He is the younger brother of Vazgen Sargsyan. After his brother Vazgen was assassinated, he became Prime Minister of Armenia from 3 November 1999 to 2 May 2000.[1][2]

In 2001, he founded the Hanrapetutyun Party. He supported the opposition leader Levon Ter-Petrosyan in the 2008 Armenian presidential election.

Sargsyan was elected to the Armenian National Assembly in May 2012 with the Armenian National Congress, but he didn't accept the seat.[3]

In the 2017 Armenian parliamentary election, Sargsyan was elected through the proportional list of the Way Out Alliance.

Prior to the 2018 Yerevan City Council election, Sargsyan co-led the Bright Alliance.

Sargsyan led the Hanrapetutyun Party as its candidate for Prime Minister in the 2021 Armenian parliamentary election. The party received 3.04% of the vote, coming in fifth place.

In May 2024, Sargsyan joined the United Platform of Democratic Forces.
