Ramis (Armenian: Ռամիս, Russian: Рамис) is an ancient settlement in Goghtn Region of Armenia, currently included in Ordubad region of Nakhichivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan.

Numerous ruins found here prove that it has been inhabited for more than 2,000 years. Until the first quarter of 20th century, many Armenian families lived here. There are ruins of churches, mills, fortresses and St. Astvatsatsin church, the latter built on the site of an ancient pagan religious building.
