Avan Tudor Jogia (/ˈævən ˈdʒoʊɡiə/; born February 9, 1992) is a Canadian actor, singer, author and director. He first received recognition for portraying Danny Araujo in the television film A Girl Like Me: The Gwen Araujo Story (2006). After moving to the United States in his late teens, he landed various television roles on television series such as Caprica (2009–2010) and, famously, Victorious (2010–2013).

Jogia rose to mainstream prominence for his roles as Danny Desai in the drama series Twisted (2013), Tutankhamun in the miniseries Tut (2015), Roman Mercer in the paranormal action series Ghost Wars (2017–2018) and Ulysses Zane in the comedy series Now Apocalypse (2019). Numerous credits in television and cinema include Spectacular! (2009), Finding Hope Now (2010), Rags (2012), Ten Thousand Saints (2015), I Am Michael (2015) and Zombieland: Double Tap (2019). His directorial debut came in 2011 with the short film Alex. He stars as Leon S. Kennedy in the 2021 film Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City.

In 2011, Jogia co-founded the LGBT online organisation Straight But Not Narrow, which seeks to shape the viewpoints of teenagers and adults on matters related to the LGBT community. In 2019, he published his first book, Mixed Feelings, a series of short stories and poems about multiracial identity. He hand-painted all the illustrations in the book. His second book of poetry, "Autopsy (Of an Ex-Teen Heartthrob): Poems of Love, Rage, Sex and Sadness", was released on February 11, 2025.

Jogia and his brother Ketan make up the band Saint Ivory. They released an album to complement the book, also titled Mixed Feelings. Jogia plays guitar, piano, and accordion, as well as sings.
