Bagramyan Battalion is a defunct military organization based in Abkhazia, Georgia and composed of ethnic Armenians that fought for the independent Abkhazian Republic during the Georgian-Abkhaz Conflict. It was named in honour of the Marshal of Soviet Union Hovhannes Bagramyan who was ethnic Armenian as well.

The last known attack carried out by members of the organization took place on 10 May 1998 when militants targeted the administrative building of the power grid in Mziuri. The group has participated in ethnic cleansing of Georgians in Abkhazia.
