Ajapnyak (Armenian: Աջափնյակ) is a district of the Armenian capital Yerevan, with a population over 125,000. It is situated northwest of the city centre.
Its name, literally "right bank", refers to its location on the right bank of Hrazdan river. The administrative district of Ajapnyak has common borders with the districts of Arabkir, Davtashen, Kentron, and Malatia-Sebastia. On the outer border it is adjacent to Armavir, Aragatsotn and Kotayk regions.
The district lies on the right bank of Hrazadan river, thus securing its connection with the majority of Yerevan through the Kyevian Bridge. It is divided into a group of smaller areas (neighborhoods) such as Ajapnyak (central part), Norashen (Kvartal 16), Nazarbekian (Kvartal 17), Silikian (Yerkrord Gyugh), Lukashin, Vahakni, Anastasavan and Cheryomushki.
Among the main streets of the district are Gevorg Chaush street, Halabian street and Zovuni street.
