Vahe Haykazuni (Armenian: Վահէ Հայկազունի; 351 BC – 331 BC), also known simply as Vahe, was a king of Armenia. He was the last offspring of the Hayk Dynasty.
According to Moses of Khoren, he was an ally of Darius III, King of Persia. He revolted against Alexander the Great but was killed in battle.

With his death, the Armenian Haykazuni dynasty came to an end and Armenia was subjected to 10 years of Macedonian rule.
