Хндзоре́ск (арм. Խնձորեսկ) — село в восточной части Сюникской области в Армении.
Название «Хндзореск» дословно переводится с армянского языка как «Яблочный». Согласно одной из версий, поселение было названо так, потому что в этой местности произрастало большое количество яблонь. По другой версии, в старину село называлось Хор Дзор (арм. Խոր Ձոր, Глубокая Пропасть), или Хордзореск, потому как оно находилось в глубоком ущелье. Видоизменившись со временем, это название превратилось в Хндзореск.
Село расположено в 8 км к востоку от города Горис, недалеко от шоссе Горис — Степанакерт. Главная достопримечательность — «пещерный город», Старый Хндзореск — село, раскинувшееся на протяжении около 3 км на склонах глубокого ущелья, долгое время бывшее одним из самых многолюдных сёл Сюника. В XX веке поселение было перенесено на вершину каньона.
