Ivan Dmitri (or Dmitre) (1900 – 1968), born Levon West, was an American photographic artist. Born in Centerville, South Dakota, his father was a Congregational minister who immigrated from Armenia. The family changed their name to West when Levon and his brothers did not want to enlist in the service during World War I under their Armenian last name, Assadoorian. The name West was chosen as it was the maiden name of Levon's mother.
Levon West adopted the pen name of Ivan Dmitri to use for his color photography.
His etchings and watercolors were always done under his original name, Levon West. His work was also part of the painting event in the art competition at the 1932 Summer Olympics.
