Garabashlar was a village in the territory of the Zangezur uezd of the former Yelizavetpol (Ganja) governorate, later in the former Gafan district, and present-day Syunik province. It was located 15 km to the northeast of the town of Gafan and on the left side of the Gighi River. The village was marked as “Garabash” on the five-verst map of the Caucasus.

The village was inhabited by 60 Azerbaijanis in 1897, 52 in 1922, 39 in 1926 and 49 Azerbaijanis in 1931. The village was abolished in the 1930s.

The toponym was coined by adding the plural suffix “-lar” to the ethnonym “Garabash” of the Turkic Mughanli tribe.
