Buzhakan ({{langx|hy|Բուժական}}), also Romanized as Bujhakan; formerly, Babakishi), is a village in the Kotayk Province of Armenia. It is situated along the eastern foothills of the Tsaghkunyats mountain range, upon a fertile slope. Early settlers of the village began immigrating to the area in 1829 from Bitlis, Artsap, Alashkert, Mush, Sasun, and Khoy. The community has a school, kindergarten, and a library. In a wooded area to the north of Buzhakan is the well-known 10th-14th century Teghenyats Monastery, and to the east of the village are the ruins of a 6th-7th century church.{{cite web |url=http://www.caa.am/eng/lg.php?section=COMMUNITIES&id=266 |title=Budjakan (Kotayk) |publisher=CAA: Union of Communities of Armenia |accessdate=May 30, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160506221806/http://caa.am/eng/lg.php?section=COMMUNITIES&id=266 |archive-date=May 6, 2016 |url-status=dead }}{{cite book|last1=Kiesling |first1=Brady| first2=Raffi| last2= Kojian| year=2005 |title=Rediscovering Armenia: Guide| edition= 2nd| publisher=Matit Graphic Design Studio| location=Yerevan| page=101| isbn=99941-0-121-8}}
