The Hovnatanyan family (Template:Lang-hy; Template:Lang-ru; Georgian: ჰოვნათანიანები; Hovnatanyans) was an Armenian family of painters. They include five generations from the 17th and 19th centuries. Hovnatanyans are descending from Shorot village, Yernjak district in Nakhichevan (now Şurud village in Julfa Rayon, Nakhchivan, Azerbaijan).
They were based on Nakhichevan, Yerevan, Tbilisi, Ejmiatsin, Saint Petersburg and Persia.
Most of their works are dedicated to Christianity like other works of their era.
