Almaz Monasypov (Tatar: Almaz Zakir ulı Monasıypov, Russian: Алмаз Закирович Монасыпов, 1925–2008) was a composer of Tatar origin. He was an honored art worker of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (1987), People's Artist of the Tatarstan Republic (2000), laureate of the State prize of the Republic of Tatarstan named after Gabdulla Tuqay (1991). He is one of the first Tatar composers re-embodied in modern music the ancient layers of the national tradition like baits (Tatar: бәет), munajats (Tatar: мөнәҗәт) and book singing (Tatar: китап көе). The Symphony-poem "Musa Jalil" (Symphony II), the vocal-symphonic poem "In the rhythms of Tuqay" (Tatar: Тукай аһәңнәре, Russian: В ритмах Тукая) are recognized as Tatar national musical classics.
