The Nakhichevan Khanate (Persian: خانات نخجوان, romanized: Khānāt-e Nakhjavān) was a khanate under Iranian suzerainty, which controlled the city of Nakhichevan and its surroundings from 1747 to 1828. It was established by Heydar Qoli Khan after death of Nader Shah and was abolished following Treaty of Turkmenchay.
The territory of the khanate corresponded to most of the present-day Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic and Vayots Dzor Province of present-day Armenia.
