Shurnukh (Armenian: Շուռնուխ) is a village in the Goris Municipality of the Syunik Province in Armenia.[3]

The village is located on the Armenia-Azerbaijan border. Following the end of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war and the withdrawal of Armenian forces from the adjacent Qubadli District of Azerbaijan, a small part of the village, including 12 houses, was determined to be part of the Qubadli District and fell under the control of Azerbaijan.[4][5]
