'''Kanaker''' ({{lang-hy|Քանաքեռ}}; also [[Romanize]]d as '''K’anak’err''', '''Kenaker''', '''Kanaker''', and '''Qanaqer''') was a village in [[Armenia]] to the north-east of the capital [[Yerevan]]. With the urban development of Yerevan in the 20th century, the village was gradually absorbed by the capital, thus becoming part of the [[Kanaker-Zeytun District]].<ref>[http://yerevan.usembassy.gov/armenia.pdf US embassy to Armenia's website] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080626205330/http://yerevan.usembassy.gov/armenia.pdf |date=2008-06-26 }}</ref>
Notable natives of Kanaker include the writer and educator [[Khachatur Abovian]] and the composer [[Djivan Gasparyan]].
