Narekavank (Template:Lang-hy Narekavank)) was a tenth century Armenian monastery in the Vaspurakan province of historical Armenia near the southern shores of Lake Van (now in the Eastern Anatolia region of Turkey). It was founded during the reign of King Gagik I (908-943) of the kingdom of Vaspurakan. The monastery was an important intellectual center whose most famous pupil was Gregory of Narek.

The monastery ceased to function in 1915, during the Armenian Genocide, and was later completely demolished. The Kurdish-populated village of Yemişlik grew up on the site, and a mosque now stands where the monastery once stood.
