Armenian Soviet Encyclopedia (also rendered Soviet Armenian Encyclopedia; Armenian: Հայկական սովետական հանրագիտարան, Haykakan sovetakan hanragitaran; ASE) is the first general encyclopedia in Armenian language. It was published in 1974-1987 by the main editorial office of the Armenian Encyclopedia.[1] It consists of 12+1 volumes, published under the direction of the President of the Academy of Sciences of the Armenian SSR Viktor Ambartsumian. In 2011, it was licensed under the Creative Commons BY-SA 3.0 free license.

Although it reflected the government's Marxist–Leninist viewpoint, is in the most comprehensive encyclopedia in the Armenian language to this day. Each volume was published in 100,000 copies.[2]
