The Holy Mother of church of Voskepar (Armenian: Ոսկեպարի Սուրբ Աստվածածին եկեղեցի) is a 7th-century Armenian church in Voskepar, Armenia, adjacent to the border with Azerbaijan. Its design is that of a cruciform central plan, the "Mastara" type. The roof was originally made of tiles. The church was reconstructed in 1975–1977. Despite heavy fighting during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War having spread to the area (Tavush Province of Armenia/Gazakh Rayon of Azerbaijan), and the destruction of the immediately adjacent Azeri village, Aşağı Əskipara (Lower Askipara), the church still stands.
