Paytakaran (Template:Lang-hy) also known as Kaspiane, was the easternmost province (nahang) of the Armenian Kingdomlocated in the territory of modern day Azerbaijan roughly corresponding to the rayons of Lankaran and Salyan. According to Strabo, both Caucasian Albania and Armenia had provinces called Caspiane.

According to Anania Shirakatsi's Ashkharatsuyts ("World Atlas," 7th c. AD), Paytakaran was the 11th among the 15 provinces of Greater Armenia. It consisted of 14 cantons (gavars): Hrakot, Perozh, Vardanakert, Yotnporakyan Bagink, Krekyan, Vovtibagha, Kaghanost, Buros, Pitchanhani, Atshi, Bagavan, Spandaran-perozh, Vormizd-perozh, and Alevan.
