Nork-Marash (Armenian: Նորք-Մարաշ վարչական շրջան, romanizedNor’-Marash varch’akan shrjan), is one of the 12 districts of Yerevan, the capital of Armenia. It is located to the east of the city centre. It is bordered by the Kentron District form the west and the north, Nor Nork from the east and Erebuni from the south. The name of the district is derived from the Nork neighbourhood of Yerevan and the ancient major of Marash in Republic of Turkey.[2] The district is unofficially divided into smaller neighborhoods such as Nork and Nor Marash.

The district was formed in 1996 through the merger of Nork and Nor Marash neighborhoods. It has an area of 4 km2 and a population of 11,098 (2022 census), making Nork-Marash the least populous district of Yerevan.[1]
