Artsakh State University (Armenian: Արցախի Պետական Համալսարան) was a university in Stepanakert, the oldest and largest university in the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh. Over the course of its 50-year history, Artsakh State University has produced over 20,000 graduates in 60 fields of study.
After the 2023 Azerbaijani offensive and the flight of Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians, the university building was appropriated by the Azerbaijan Ministry of Education for a Karabakh University (Azerbaijani: Qarabağ Universiteti) (also spelled Garabagh University) on November 28, 2023, which started admitting students in 2024.
Students from Artsakh State University have campaigned for the university to resume operations in exile in Armenia.
