Tat:''Mədrəsə'') is a village and municipality in the
Shamakhi District of
Azerbaijan. This village had a generally homogeneous
Armenian population in 1918 and maintained a significant Armenian presence up until the forced exodus of Armenians from Azerbaijan in 1988.

Madrasa was home to one of the last two
Armeno-Tat communities in Azerbaijan, until they were expelled in the 1990s.
