The Hrazdan (Armenian Հրազդան, scientific transliteration Hrazdan, IPA: [ həraz'dan ] ) is a left tributary of the Aras in Armenia.

The Hrazdan forms the northwestern outflow of Lake Sevan, near the town of Sevan. He initially flows approximately 30 km to the northwest, then southeast to the city of Hrazdan and finally to the southwest by the Armenian capital of Yerevan in the Arax. Its total length is 141 km.

Between 1932 and 1962 a cascade was constructed from six hydropower plants.
