Момик (арм. Մոմիկ) (XIII—XIV вв.) — армянский архитектор, мастер по камню и художник. Уроженец Вайоц-Дзора, выпускник Гладзорского университета, ученик замечательного мастера Сиранеса, Момик долгое время работал в Киликии, затем, вернувшись в Армению, получил почётную должность придворного зодчего, скульптора и миниатюриста при дворе князей Орбелянов, владевших Сюникским краем. Многие из творений этого изящного зодчего, такие, как церковь Богородицы в Арени (1321 г.), сохранились до наших дней. Но вершина творчества Момика — монастырь Нораванк, служивший кафедрой Сюникского митрополита.
