Artur Goroyan (; born 25 April 1988) is an Armenian racing driver who has represented Armenia in international endurance racing.
He has competed in the Nürburgring Endurance Series, the 24 Hours of Nürburgring, the 24H Series and the 6 Hours of Abu Dhabi. He won the TCR class of the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie in 2025 and is the founder of Goroyan RT.
Goroyan is associated with the development of Armenian representation in international motorsport. While several racing drivers of Armenian heritage had competed internationally under other national sporting authorities, Goroyan became the first driver to compete internationally with an Armenian Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) international competition licence issued through the Armenian Automobile Federation (FAA). The licence was reported as INT ARM 001, making him the first ever driver to formally represent Armenia under the Armenian national licensing system in international motorsport. The milestone has been linked to the FAA's development of Armenia's official national motorsport representation within the FIA framework.
