Meysəri (also Meysary; Armenian: Մեյսարի, romanized: Meysari) is a village and municipality in the Shamakhi District of Azerbaijan. It has a population of 624. The village had an Armenian population before the exodus of Armenians from Azerbaijan after the outbreak of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.[1]

In Meysary there were two Armenian Apostolic churches: Surb Nshan and Surb Astvatsatsin.[2][3] Surb Astvatsatsin was blown up in 1972.[3]
