Sevan Botanical Garden (Armenian: Սևանի բուսաբանական այգի), is a botanical garden founded in 1944 in the northern Armenian town of Sevan, near the Tsamakaberd neighbourhood.[1] The garden is operating as a satellite of the Yerevan Botanical Garden under the supervision of the Armenian National Academy of Sciences.[2]
Located at a height of 2000 meters above sea level and having a dry, continental climate, the area is characterized by cold winters and hot summers.

In 2015, a green house was opened within the garden.[4]
