Lachin (, , ) or Berdzor () is a town in Azerbaijan and the administrative centre of the Lachin District. It is located within the strategic Lachin corridor, linking the Nagorno-Karabakh region with Armenia.
The town was under control of Armenian forces in 1992, during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War, and its local Azerbaijani and Kurdish population was expelled, while Armenians settled in. The town came under the de facto control of the breakaway Republic of Artsakh, administered as part of its Kashatagh Province. It came under the supervision of the Russian peacekeeping force following the ceasefire agreement that ended the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war. Lachin and the villages of Sus and Zabukh were returned under Azerbaijan's control on August 26, 2022, as part of the 2020 ceasefire agreement.
