Köhnəkənd is a village in the Lachin District of Azerbaijan.
The village was located in the Armenian-occupied territories surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh, coming under the control of ethnic Armenian forces during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War in the early 1990s. The village subsequently became part of the breakaway Republic of Artsakh as part of its Shushi Province and was referred to as Kirsavan (Armenian: Քիրսավան). The village was returned to Azerbaijan on 1 December 2020 per the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire agreement.
