Yeghishe Arakyal Monastery (Template:Lang-hy) or Monastery of Yeghishe the Apostle (Template:Lang-az) is an Armenian Apostolic Church located on the bank of the Tartar river, de jure in the Tartar District of Azerbaijan, but de facto in the Martakert Province of the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh. Because of the close proximity to the militarized border, no visitors are allowed to travel to the monastery. The monastery is located close to the village of Madagiz.

Yeghishe Arakyal Monastery was built sometime in the 5th century and expanded in the 13th century. The minster is surrounded by 7 chapels, one of which is the tomb of Vachagan III, King of Caucasian Albania, also known as Vachagan the Pious, (487–510).
