Mughni (Armenian: Մուղնի) is a village situated in the Ashtarak Municipality of the Aragatsotn Province in Armenia. It is located just to the north of Ashtarak town and falls under its municipality. Prior to the Russian conquest, it held the distinction of being the southernmost town in the Aparan district.

The dome of the church was reconstructed in the 1660s.
