Armin van Buuren (* 25. december 1976, Leiden, Holandsko) je holandský DJ a producent, hrajúci a tvoriaci hudobný štýl – trance.
Biografia Armin van Buuren začínal ako DJ v klube Nexus doma v Leidene. Už ako 19-ročný sa dostal do povedomia zásluhou skladby Blue Fear. Jeho ďalším úspešným singlom bol Communication z roku 1999, ktorý s obľubou hrávali na Ibize. V novembri 2001 van Buurena zaradili na 27. priečku v rebríčku najlepších dídžejov sveta podľa DJ Magazine, čo mu prinieslo ďalšie možnosti. V roku 2003 uviedol na trh svoj debutový album 76, po ktorom o dva roky neskôr nasledovala nahrávka Shivers (2005). V tom čase začal vydávať kompiláciu A State of Trance (ASOT), ktorú každoročne vydáva doteraz. Po prvý raz sa na čelo rebríčka najlepších dídžejov sveta podľa DJ Magazine dostal v roku 2007. Prvenstvo obhájil aj v rokoch 2008, 2009, 2010 a 2012. Celkovo má tak na konte už päť triumfov, čo sa nikdy v histórii žiadnemu inému dídžejovi nepodarilo. Napriek týmto oceneniam uviedol, že život pre neho nie je o oceneniach. Talentovaný Holanďan má okrem spomenutých dvoch štúdioviek na konte aj albumy Imagine (2008), Mirage (2010) a Intense (2013), remixové albumy Imagine: The Remixes (2009) a Mirage: The Remixes (2011) a okrem A State of Trance každoročne vydáva aj kompilácie A State of Trance Year Mix, A State Of Trance Classics a Universal Religion. Armin van Buuren pritom stále moderuje program A State of Trance, ktorý má za sebou už 1204 epizód.
