Pava Grigorevna Turtygina[1] (26 December 1902 – 1985)[2] was a Russian composer.[3]

Turtygina was born in Gomel. She studied at the Ekaterinoslav Music School (1915-1919), today known as the Dnipropetrovsk Academy of Music in Ukraine; at the Gnessin State Musical College (1921-1922) with Elena Gnesina; and at the Moscow Conservatory (1938-1940).[4]

Turtygina worked as a pianist. Her music was included on at least one LP recording: Aprelevka #7334 (1938).[5] Her compositions were published by the State Music Publishing House known as Muzgiz or Muzyka,[4] which in 2004 became P. Jurgenson. Her vocal compositions include:

  • "Krasnoflotskaya" (text by Y. Rodionov)[4]
  • "Pod Znamenem" (Under the Banner; text by Aleksandr Kovalenkov)[4]
  • "Pokhodnaya Komsomolskaya" (text by I. Molchanov)[4]
  • "Spain Will Be Free" (text by Sergey Alymov)[5]
