Praveen Gurung (Nepali: प्रवीण गुरुङ, 30 April 1962 –6 August 2000) was a folk music singer and music arranger from Nepal who arranged over five hundred recordings during his career in both Nepali and Gurung. His work is well known throughout Nepal.^[2] His song yo daju ko mirmire bhakha... is still a widely popular duet.

Praveen was raised in the musical environment of the Gurung people of which he belonged. In 1980 at the age of eighteen he joined the regionally famous folk group Danfe Kala Mandir in Pokhara as a dancer and singer. By 1983 Praveen had moved to Kathmandu and recorded his first song at Radio Nepal. He was awarded Ratna Recording Corporation's folk song prize that year for his recording Tesaita nabune ko dali. He recorded at least five major albums solely in his local dialect.

Praveen often performed in the traditional Rodhi Ghar.^[1] A Rodhi Ghar is a communal gathering place among Gurung people where singing and dancing takes place after work.^[3]

Gurung was killed in a road accident when a Jeep allegedly driven by Prince Paras Shah struck and killed him as he crossed a road in Kathmandu. An "innocent person" was said to have taken responsibility for the accident, preventing his prosecution despite widespread opposition from human rights activists^[4][5] He is survived by his wife Shanti Gurung and his two children^[1]
