The Principality of Khachen (Template:Lang-hy) was a medieval principality in Caucasian Albania, in part of historical Artsakh (present-day Nagorno-Karabakh)

Accoding to some sources, Khachen was Armenian principality. The Byzantine emperor Constantine VII addressed his letters to the prince of Khachen with the inscription "To Prince of Khachen, Armenia.". According to Abū Dulaf, an Arab traveller of the time, Khachen was an Armenian principality immediately south of Barda'a.
