Gutkin Abram Itzhokovich (b. 25 August 1918 – ?) — violinist.

Abram Gutkin studied at the Latvian Conservatory under A. Mets. From 1938 to 1941, he worked at the Ventspils People’s Conservatory, where he led the orchestral class. In 1941–42, he taught music in Solikamsk (Perm region), and from 1942 to 1944, he played in the symphony orchestra of Stalinabad. Beginning in 1944, he was part of the Artistic Ensemble of the Latvian SSR in Ivanovo (the ensemble was formed by evacuees from the Latvian SSR). Between 1946 and 1949, he performed in the variety orchestra of the railway restaurant in Riga. In 1949, he became concertmaster of the Latvian Radio Symphony Orchestra. For many years, he worked as a music editor at the Riga Film Studio. He later emigrated to Israel.
