Göyşaban (also, Ol’khovka) is a village and municipality in the Lankaran Rayon of Azerbaijan. It has a population of 3,038.
== History == The history of the village dates back to ancient times. In the 1700s, the village consisted entirely of swamps. According to some reports, Azerbaijanis from Iran and Turks fleeing the Ottoman Russian War began to settle in the Lankaran lowlands. One of the settlements was this village. The swamps were drained and people began to settle in the swamps. Until 1992, it was known as Olkhovka. On April 29, 1992, Olkhovka was renamed Goyshaban.
