Tejharuyk (Armenian: Թեժառույք) is a 12th-century walled Armenian monastery located upon a wooded hill just southwest of the village of Meghradzor in the Kotayk Province of Armenia. It was constructed between 1196–99 and commissioned by Ivane I Zakarian, a commander of the Armeno-Georgian Zakarian-Mkhargrzeli family, who was a convert to the Georgian Orthodox Church. His vassal, Prince Bubak, and the latter's heirs are buried in the gavit of the church.
