Benik Abrahamyan (born 31 July 1985) is an Armenian-Georgian shot putter.[1] He competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in the men's shot put event; his result of 18.72 meters in the qualifying round did not qualify him for the final.[2][3]

Abrahamyan received a two year ban in 2011 for a doping violation. He also received a seven year ban for a second doping violation just prior to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.[4]
