Yengicə (also, Yengidzha, Yengija and Yenidzha) is a village and municipality in the Sharur District of Nakhchivan, Azerbaijan. It is located 2 km south-west from the district center, on the Sharur plain. Its population is busy with gardening and farming. There is a secondary school, a music school, a cultural house, a kindergarten, a flour mill, two mosques and a medical center in the village. It has a population of 3,840. The monument was erected in honor of its compatriots who died in The Great Patriotic War. There is also a bust of the National Hero of Azerbaijan Sayavush Hasanov, who was born in this village.

==Etymology== Yengicə (Yengija) is the phonetic form of the name Yenicə (Yenija). The villages called Yenicə and Yengicə were created as a result of the population building new settlements after moving out from the main village, mostly due to deficiency of the soil. The name means "the new village".
