Agarak (Armenian: Ագարակ) is a village in the Ashtarak Municipality of the Aragatsotn Province of Armenia.

[2] The archaeological site of Agarak is located south of the highway on the west side of the Amberd Canyon.

A large quantity of potsherds, as well as mumerousround portable clay fireplaces, represent the succeeding Kura–Araxes culture; they are dated to 29th-27th century BC, and are similar to Shengavit-type pottery.

In 4th century BC, Agarak became an urban center due to its location on the Aras Valley trade route.

Based on potsherd excavations Agarak was a village-level settlement in the early Middle Ages.
