Khtzkonk Monastery was a monastic ensemble of five Armenian churches built between the 7th and 13 centuries in what was then Armenia, now near the town of Digor, the administrative capital of the Digor district of the Kars Province in Turkey (about 19 kilometers west of the Armenian border). The monastery is located in the gorge formed by the Digor River.

The monastery was completely destroyed by the Turkish Army in 1966, except for the Church of Saint Sargis which is partially destroyed.
