Hayastan meaning Armenia (in Armenian: Հայաստան, pronounced Hayasdan in Western Armenian) was a multilingual radical publication and the organ of the Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia (ASALA). The journal published editorials, official announcements and communiques of ASALA, and articles on political and military issues. The periodical was primarily in Armenian but also contained articles and translations of Armenian-language articles in a number of other languages, notably in Arabic, English, French and Turkish.

Established in October 1980 in Lebanon, it published monthly during the periods 1980-1987 and 1991–1997. It was a free publication and was distributed clandestinely. From 1983 to 1987 it issued separate additional issues in Arabic, English, French and Turkish.
