Yukhari Gulubeyli was a village in the Echmiadzin uezd of the former Iravan governorate, later in the former Uchkilsa (Echmiadzin, Vagharshapat) district, and currently in the Armavir province. It was located on the upper reach of the Boyuk Garasu River. The village was marked on the five-verst map of the Caucasus.

The village was solely inhabited by Azerbaijanis: 336 in 1873, 397 in 1886, 293 in 1897, 286 in 1904, 304 in 1914 and 286 Azerbaijanis in January 1918. The village was attacked and the inhabitants were dispersed from their ethnic and historical lands by Armenian armed units in February 1918. The village was abolished in 1930. At present, it lies in ruins.

The toponym was coined by combining the distinctive feature “yukhari” and the multigenerational family name “Gulubeyli”.
