Julian Cochran (born 14 June, 1974) is an English-born Australian composer.

Cochran was born in Cambridge and emigrated to Australia in 1978. At the age of fourteen he was awardeda scholarship for piano performance at the Elder Conservatorium in Adelaide.

He has written mostly piano works including a book of dances, "Russian Toccata", five Preludes, five Romanian Dances, "Animation Suite" (containing Tin Sentinel, Wooden Dolls) and other dances including two Mazurkas, the impressionistic work "Maelstrom" and two piano sonatas. His chamber music includes a trio for violin and oboe trio, sextet for string quartet, oboe and bassoon and choral works.
