Marmashen Monastery is a 10th-century Armenian monastic complex consisting of five churches near the village of Marmashen in the Shirak Province of Armenia. The buildings at Marmashen are very similar in style to those of Khtzkonk Monastery.
It was built by Vahram Pahlavouni.
The ruins of 4-pillar vestibule which served as a burial vault of Pahlavouni princes are found on the territory of the monastery. Vahram Pahlavouni killed during the battle near Dvin in 1045 was also buried there.
