Agarak monastery is a ruined Armenian monastic complex formerly located in Ekrek, Iğdır Province, Turkey. Built in the early medieval period—the 5th or 6th century—the monastery comprised several churches executed in the Armenian architectural tradition. The complex was destroyed in the aftermath of the Armenian genocide that began in 1915.
