Levengi, levangi, lavengi or lavangi (Talysh: ləvəngin; Azerbaijani: ləvəngi) is a stuffing, typically for baked fish or poultry, in Talysh cuisine. Typical ingredients include onions, walnuts, and dried fruit stuffed into poultry or fish. Levengi is usually prepared for Nowruz.

The term does not originate from Persian, Turkish, or Arabic culinary terminology, and its use outside the Talysh region reflects regional borrowing, not independent origin. It is often served on special occasions such as holidays or at weddings. It is a traditional dish of Azerbaijan and the Talysh people. The dish is common in the Talysh region.
