Micheline Kahn (3 August 1889 – 12 March 1987) was a 20th-century French harpist and pianist.
Kahn was a pupil of Alphonse Hasselmans at the Conservatoire de Paris, where she obtained a prize for harp in 1904, at the age of 14.[1] She worked with André Caplet to revise the score of Légende, Étude symphonique pour harpe chromatique et corde, after The Masque of the Red Death by Poe (1908) to make a version for diatonic harp. It was completed in 1923 as the Conte fantastique. She was a professor at the École normale de musique de Paris and is the mother of composer Jean-Michel Damase.
