Dmitri Aleksandrovich Pavlov is a Russian composer. He was born in St Petersburg in 1959, and graduated from St. Petersburg Conservatoire in 1982 class Theory and Composition. Acclaimed for his work as a film composer and perhaps best known for his score for the film The Cuckoo (Кукушка in Russian) directed by Aleksandr Rogozhkin.

Apart from music for film, Dmitri Pavlov has written for ballet, theatre and orchestra. He formed Pavlov Ballet in 1992, and also arranged for the 'Spirit of Mozart' concert in Vienna, commemorating  250th anniversary of Mozart's birth. One of his works is Concerto for piano, computer and orchestra, which breaks boundaries and successfully merges sampled computer generated sounds with classical.

He used the computer generated sounds in recording of another work The Fall of Babylon, biblical Allegory for Choir and Orchestra based on Old and New Testament Texts. ( This was recorded at St.Petersburg Radio and Television Studio, St.Petersburg Conservatoire Choir, St.Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, conductor Alexander Titov, solo violin-Alexander Shustin, recorder-Alexander Kiskachy, solo cello-Sergey Pechatin, electronics-Dmitri Pavlov, sound engineer-Vladimir Lukichev.)

Pavlov is married and has two children. He currently resides in Berlin.
