The Battle of Elevard was a battle between the Byzantine army under the command of Germanus and the Sasanian army under the command of Dzuan Veh. The Byzantine army decisively defeated the Sasanian army and killed their commander.

During the first invasion of Byzantium, after the capture of Dara, the army of the Persian commander Dzuan Veh moved into Byzantine Armenia. The Byzantine commander Germanus advanced to his location and the two armies met at Elevard (near Yerevan). There was a fierce battle, during which the Persian army was defeated and their commander died. Due to the battle, the Persian offensive was halted, and only one year later would the Sassanids be able to continue their invasion.
