Mughni (Armenian: Մուղնի, also Romanized as Mugni) is a village in the Aragatsotn Province of Armenia. It is located within the city limits of and just north of the city of Ashtarak. Until the Russian conquest, it was the southernmost town in the district of Aparan. Mughni has a recently restored 14th century monastery of S. Gevorg, which was formerly a popular pilgrimage site and the seat of an archbishop. The dome of the church was rebuilt in the 1660s.
