Kilvar (Armenian: Քիլվար;Tat: Kilvar) is a village in the Shabran District of Azerbaijan. The village forms part of the municipality of Pirəbədil.[1]

In 1908, the population of Kilvar was 599 Tat people.[2] Kilvar was home to one of the last two Armeno-Tat communities in Azerbaijan, with the other one in Madrasa, before the exodus of Armenians from Azerbaijan after the outbreak of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.[3]
