The Monastery of Tatev ( ) is a 9th century Armenian monastery located in the Tatev village in Syunik Province in southern Armenia. The term "Tatev" usually refers to the monastery. It stands on a plateau on the edge of the deep gorge of the Orotan (Vorotan) River. It became the bishopric seat of Syunik and played a significant role in the history of the region as a centre for economic, political, spiritual and cultural activity.

In the 14th and 15th centuries Tatev Monastery hosted one of the most important Armenian medieval universities which contributed to the education of science, religion and philosophy; reproduction of books and development of miniature painting. Scholars of Tatev University contributed to the preservation of Armenian culture and creed during one of its most turbulent periods in its history.

According to a popular legend, after the architect completed the construction of Tatev he took two stone pebbles and prayed to God, asking Him for wings. His wish was granted and the architect flew away. The word "tatev" reflects this, since it means "giving wings" in the Armenian language. The monastery of Tatev was built in the 9th century, on the ruins of an ancient pagan temple. Such practices were common back then; Armenia was the first country in the world to adopt Christianity as a state religion and thus fought against pagan followers. The most famous part of Tatev is Gavazan, an 8-meter high stone pillar. This unique work of Armenian art and engineering was meant to scare off the invaders, and was always successful in that purpose. In 1931 an earthquake almost destroyed the monastery, but many of the buildings were subsequently reconstructed.
