The Vardenis District (Armenian: Վարդենիսի շրջան; Russian: Варденисский район) was a district of the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic from 1930 and later in 1991 of the Republic of Armenia until its disestablishment in 1995. The Vardenis District today constitutes a southeastern part of the Gegharkunik Province (marz). Its administrative centre was the town Vardenis. The Vardenis District was formed on the territory of the Armenian SSR in 1930, originally forming part of the Tsarist Nor Bayazet uezd. The district and its capital were originally known as Basargechar (Armenian: Բասարգեչար; Russian: Басаргечар) before being renamed to Vardenis in 1969. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Republic of Armenia consolidated the Vardenis, Kamo, Krasnoselsk, Martuni, and Sevan districts into the larger Gegharkunik Province in 1995
