Bahlul (Azerbaijani: Bəhlul) or Pahlul (Armenian: Փահլուլ) is a village near the city of Stepanakert in Azerbaijan.

In June 1919, the village and the neighboring villages of Ghaibalishen (Khaibalikend), Jamilli, and Karkijahan were looted and destroyed in the Khaibalikend massacre with 600-700 ethnic Armenians being killed by armed Kurdish irregulars and Azerbaijani soldiers.[1][2]
