Lori (Armenian: Լոռի, Armenian pronunciation: [lɔˈri] ), is a province(marz) of Armenia. It is located in the north of the country, bordering Georgia. Vanadzor is the capital and largest city of the province. Other important towns include Stepanavan, Alaverdi, and Spitak. It is home to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Haghpat and Sanahin monasteries and the well-preserved Akhtala monastery, where Armenians, Georgians, and Greeks make an annual pilgrimage on September 20–21.[5]

The province was heavily damaged during the 1988 Armenian earthquake.

The province is served by the Stepanavan Airport.
