Shahbulag Castle (Azerbaijani: Şahbulaq qalası, literally "Spring of the Shah") is an 18th-century fortress near Agdam in Azerbaijan built by the Karabakh Khan Panah Ali. The castle was named Shahbulag ("Shah's spring") after a nearby spring bearing the same name located around the lower part of the Khachen/Xachinchay river. Before the construction of the castle, the area around it was known as Tarnagyut, which, according to Armenian archaeologist Hamlet Petrosyan, is a corruption of Tigranakert, the ruined ancient city which lies nearby the castle.
