Arakelots Monastery or the Monastery of the Holy Apostles (Armenian: š Սուրբ Առաքելոց վանք Mšo Surb Arakelots vank '), an Armenian monastery founded in the 4th century by Saint Enlightening Grigor and located in the village of Kepenek (Arak) in the province of Mush. The monastery was used as one of the most important places of worship in the region until the Armenian massacre of 1915 and in 1960 it was blown up with dynamite by the governorship of Muş.

Only the ruins of two churches (St. Stefanos and St. Datevos chapel) remain from the monastery complex to the present day. The Armenian province of Daron was converted into a monastery church in the 11th century and restored in 1125. On the eastern side there were nine special khachkars. In the 14th century, the Timur monastery was destroyed, and in 1791 the wall was added. In 1915, the Armenian monastery was attacked and the last abbot Yovhannes Vardapet Muratyan was killed.
