Hadrut ((listen)ⓘ, Armenian: Հադրութ) is a town in the Khojavend District of Azerbaijan, in the region of Nagorno-Karabakh.

The town had an ethnic Armenian-majority population prior to the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war.[2] Numerous Armenian civilians were killed in and around Hadrut by Azerbaijani forces during or after the battle.[3][4][5][6] Subsequently, Azerbaijani soldiers vandalized Armenian-owned property, including the local church and cemetery, obliterating its gravestones.[7]
