Khnapat () or Khanabad (; ) is a village in the Khojaly District of Azerbaijan, in the region of Nagorno-Karabakh. Until 2023 it was controlled by the breakaway Republic of Artsakh. The village had an ethnic Armenian-majority population until the expulsion of the Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh by Azerbaijan following the 2023 Azerbaijani offensive in Nagorno-Karabakh.
== History == Khnapat is regarded as one of the most ancient settlements in Artsakh. This is attested by burial grounds dating to the second and first millennia BCE, along with the remains of early villages and cemeteries found within the village territory. The modern village was founded in the early 19th century by settlers from the nearby Armenian mountain villages of Jrver and Yereshen. During the Soviet period, the village was part of the Askeran District of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast.
