Alexander "Skunder" Boghossian (July 22, 1937 โ€“ May 4, 2003) was an Ethiopian painter and art teacher. He spent much of his life living and working in the United States. He was one of the first, and by far the most acclaimed, contemporary Black artists from the African continent to gain international attention.
