Hovk (Armenian: Հովք, formerly known as Aghkikhlu, and Samed Vurghun between 1978-1991), is a village in the Tavush Province of Armenia. It belongs to the Dilijan municipality.
The village was originally known as Aghkikhlu. In 1978, it was renamed honor of Azeri poet and dramatist Samed Vurghun (1906-1956), a winner of the Lenin Prize. After the independence of Armenia, the village was renamed Hovk, literally meaning winds in Armenian.
