Yenokavan (Armenian: Ենոքավան); known as Krdevan until 1935, is a village in the Tavush Province of Armenia. The village was renamed in 1935 in honor of Yenok Mkrtumian, who founded the first Communist party cell in the region.[1]

The village is a few kilometers north of the regional capital of Ijevan, close to the main highway. The canyon behind the village is lush with forest, river and has caves with interesting carvings .
