Musayelyan (Armenian: Մուսայելյան) or Musayelian is a village in the Shirak Province of Armenia. It was named after the Bolshevik military leader Sargis Musayelyan.

Until 1935 it was known as Mets Kyapanak, when it was officially named Musayelyan in honor of Sargis G. Musayelian, a captain who committed his troops and armored train to the May 1920 Bolshevik uprising against the ARF led government in Alexandropol/Gyumri. Sentenced to death when the May uprising collapsed, Musayelian was reprieved, but then shot by vengeful Dashnaks after the torture and execution of two Dashnak leaders by the Red Army in Zangezur).
