Ohanavan (Armenian: Օհանավան, also Romanized as Oganavan) is a town in the Aragatsotn Province of Armenia. Ohanavan was resettled in 1828 by emigrants from Muş. On a nearby escarpment sits the 13th c. Hovhannavank Monastery. Both the town and the monastery are situated atop a steep gorge carved by the Kasagh river.
