The Erivan Khanate also known as Čoḵūr Saʿd, is a khanate that is established in Safavid Persia in the eighteenth century.

It coveri an area of roughly 19,500 km2, and corresponds to most of present-day central Armenia, most of the Iğdır Province and of Kağızman district of the Kars Province of present-day Turkey, and the Sharur and Sadarak districts of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of present-day Azerbaijan.As a result of the Persian defeat in the last Russo-Persian War, it is occupied by Russian troops in 1827, then ceded to the Russian Empire in 1828 in accordance with the Treaty of Turkmenchay.

Immediately following this, the territories of the former Erivan Khanate and the Nakhichevan Khanate are joined to form the "Armenian Oblast" of the Russian Empire.
