Horomos Monastery or oşoshavank (Armenian: Հոռոմոս Horomosivank)), a historical Armenian monastery, founded in 931 and located 15 kilometers from the Ani ruins in Kars. The monastery was one of the most important religious centers of Armenia in the Middle Ages.

The monastery complex was built in the 10th century by the King of Pakraduni I. Abas I until 936. After Ani became the capital in 961, its importance increased and the graves of the dynasties were buried here. It was destroyed in the Arab attack in 982. It was later repaired by the Pakradunis and rebuilt in new churches. There are no sources until the 17th and 18th centuries about the monastery, which remained important until the 13th century. In 1788, renovation works were done in the renovation monastery. In 1860, the traveler John Ussher described the monastery he saw as a ruined building with a single guard monk. The monastery has undergone various renovations and restorations in the 19th century. The monastery was used until 1920.

The monastery consisted of St. John's Church, St. Menas Church, St. Yorgi Church, a gazebo and a mausoleum. III. Asod tomb is not in place today. In 1970, the dome of St. John's Church collapsed.
