Vokhoi (Armenian: Ոխոյ, Russian: Вохой), also known as Akhaetsik (Armenian: Ախաեցիք, Russian: Ахаецик), is a historical village in the Goghtn Region of Armenia, now included in the Ordubad region of Nakhichevan autonomy of Azerbaijan. It is now called Alain.

Armenian populations have settled here since the early Middle-Ages. Now the ruins of St. Khach (Cross) church remain, destroyed at the end of the 19th century, as well as St. Stepanos church, destroyed during an earthquake in 1931.
