Mirik (Armenian: Միրիկ; Kurdish: Mîrîk) is a village in the Lachin District of Azerbaijan.
The village was part of the Kurdistan Uezd between 1923 and 1929. The village came under the control of ethnic Armenian forces during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War in the early 1990s. The village subsequently became part of the breakaway Republic of Artsakh as part of its Kashatagh Province, located in the Armenian-occupied territories surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh. It was returned to Azerbaijan as part of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire agreement.
