Ashkharhatsuyts (), often translated as Geography in English sources, is an early medieval Armenian geography attributed to Anania Shirakatsi.
It believed to have been written sometime between 610 and 636. According to Elizabeth Redgate, it was written "probably shortly before AD 636". Its authorship has been disputed in the modern period; formerly believed to have been the work of Movses Khorenatsi, most scholars now attribute it to Anania Shirakatsi. Robert Hewsen calls it "one of the most valuable works to come down to us from Armenian antiquity."
