Feigelson (Feigelsohn) Abram Izrailevich (15 February 1892, Gorodok, Grodno Governorate — 1941(?)) — pianist, accompanist, harpist.

Abram Feigelson lived in Riga from 1911. In 1911–1912, he studied at the Riga School of the Imperial Russian Musical Society.

In 1914, he performed as a piano soloist in chamber and symphonic concerts in Jūrmala and Ķemeri. In 1915–1916, he was a teacher at the school of the Imperial Russian Musical Society in evacuation, in Yuryev (Livonia Governorate). He returned to Riga in 1918.

From 1919 to 1921, he was a harpist in the orchestra of the National Opera. From 1921 to 1930, he worked as a répétiteur-pianist at the National Opera, helping solo singers learn operatic parts; he worked especially closely and productively with M. Brekhman-Shtegele.

From 1930 to 1940, he performed in concerts as an accompanist-pianist together with S. Rashina, L. Zakhodnik, A. Mets, Ya. Ioffe, and many others.

In 1935, he worked at the Jewish Theatre as a conductor and composer. He participated in concerts of Jewish music (notably on 10 January 1940 at the Jewish Theatre).
