Pierre Luboshutz ( Pjotr Saulowitsch Lyuboschiz ; born June 17, 1891 in Odessa , † April 17, 1971 in Rockport / Maine ) was a Russian pianist and music teacher.

Luboshutz initially took violin lessons from his father.

In Paris he completed his training with Édouard Risler .

With his sisters, the violinist Lea and the cellist Anna Luboshutz , he formed a piano trio with which he performed in Russia. In 1919 he accompanied the dancer Isadora Duncan on a tour of Russia.

Luboshutz arranged several works for two pianos for concerts with his wife. Many of the duo's concerts have also been released on record. On the occasion of Mozart's 200th birthday in 1956, they went on a five-week tour with a small orchestra, where they played his concert for three pianos; the third piano was played by Boris Goldovsky , a son of Lea Luboshutz.
