}}Noravank Important Bird Area is a {{convert|14,002|ha|acre|adj=on}} region of Armenia designated as worthy of conservation for its avifauna, by BirdLife International, as an "Important Bird Area" (IBA), with the main aim of protecting bird species and habitats.[1][2] Within Armenia, it is also known as the "Gnishik Protected Landscape".[1]

The IBA sits at the slopes of the Vayots Dzor mountains, and includes riparian shrubland, semi-desert, juniper woodland, arid mountain steppe and mesophilic meadow habitats.[1]

100 breeding species and 46 migratory or wintering species of birds have been recorded.[1]

A caretaker employed at the IBA has worked with the eponymous monastery, Noravank, to set up a feeding station for cinereous vultures.[3]

Other species recorded at the IBA include short-toed eagle, golden eagle, bearded vulture, Egyptian vulture, Eurasian eagle owl, lanner falcon, semi-collared flycatcher, European roller, chukar, white stork, Levant sparrowhawk, and, on passage, pallid harrier, lesser kestrel and greater spotted eagle.[2][4]

The area was designated as an IBA in 2002.[2] It is one of eighteen Important Bird Areas in Armenia.[5]
