Karabakh (Template:Lang-az, Template:Lang-hy) is a historically Armenian region in Azerbaijan, extending from the highlands of the Lesser Caucasus down to lowlands between the two rivers of Kura and Aras. The highland part of the region became known as Nagorno-Karabakh after the establishment of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast in 1923.

The Azerbaijani word "Karabakh" originated from Turkic and Persian, literally meaning "black garden", respectively. The name first appears in Georgian and Persian sources in the 13th and 14th centuries. The related term Karabagh is described by the Oxford English Dictionary as being used to denote a kind of patterned rug originally produced in the area, and is an acceptable alternate spelling of Karabakh.
