Semyon Semyonovich Abamelik-Lazarev, Semen Semenovich Abamelek-Lazarev or Abamelik-Lazaryan (1857, Moscow - 1916, Kislovodsk, buried in Saint-Petersburg) was a Russian-Armenian principal, archaeologist and geologist, a member of the Russian Geographical Union, and the honorary supervisor of the Lazarian Seminary in Moscow.

He belonged to the historio-philological faculty of Saint-Petersburg University. In 1881-1882 he discovered and researched the so-called "Palmirian tariff" inscription listing ancient customs rules, then researched the Jerash Greco-Roman monument in Palestine, publishing the results in two books. He was also a successful entrepreneur who opened iron factories in the Ural region. His villa (Villa Abamelik) in Rome was owned by the Soviet embassy.

He married Princess Maria Pavlovna Demidova (Kiev, 3 February 1877 - Pratolino, 25 July 1955), a daughter of Pavel Pavlovich Demidov, 2nd Prince of San Donato, on 13 May 1897 in Helsinki.
