Khachatur Abovyan Park (Armenian: Խաչատուր Աբովյանի Պուրակ Khachatur Abovyani Purak), is a park located in the Kentron district of Yerevan, Armenia, at the north of Abovyan Street. It forms the starting point of the Abovyan Street. The Yerevan State Medical University is located at the southern edge of the park.
The park is named after the noted Armenian writer of the 19th century, Khachatur Abovian.
