Vank (Armenian: Վանք) or Vangli (Azerbaijani: Vəngli) is a village in the Aghdara District of Azerbaijan, in the region of Nagorno-Karabakh. From 1991 to 2023 it was controlled by the breakaway Republic of Artsakh. The village had an ethnic Armenian-majority population until the exodus of the Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh following the 2023 Azerbaijani offensive in Nagorno-Karabakh. The 13th-century Gandzasar Monastery, and the 9th-century Khokhanaberd fortress are located near Vank.
