The Voice of Armenia (Armenian: Հայաստանի Ձայնը pronounced Hayastani Dzayne) is an Armenian television singing competition created by John de Mol. The first season was broadcast on Armenia TV. The show premiered in late 2012 and continued until 2017. The rules of the show are based on The Voice of Holland and The Voice (U.S.) and include blind auditions (in Armenian Կույր լսումներ), 'wild card' round, battle phase (in Armenian Մենամարտ), and live rounds (in Armenian Գալա համերգներ).

The Voice of Armenia is open not only to artists from Armenia, but also to Armenians from the Armenian diaspora including Russia. As of January 2024, there is no information about a fifth season.
