Gudbrand Bøhn (November 10, 1839 – January 18, 1906) was a Norwegian violinist, concertmaster, and music teacher.

Bøhn was born in Nes in Akershus county, Norway.[1] He was the son of the violinist Ole Gulbrandsen Bøhn (1803–1882).

He was a central figure in the capital city's artistic community, where he started holding regular chamber music evenings, and he was the concertmaster at the Christiania Theater until 1899, when it closed.[1] Bøhn premiered Edvard Grieg's Violin Sonata No. 1 in F major, Op. 8 in 1867 with the composer at the piano.[1][2] His students included Christian Sinding, Sigurd Lie, Michael Flagstad, Harald Heide, William Farre, and Johan Halvorsen.[1]

Bøhn died in Kristiania (now Oslo).[1]
