Getargel (Armenian: Գետարգել), formerly known as Radiokayanin kits (ռադիոկայանին կից), or SMO, is a village in the Kotayk Province of Armenia.

The Dzagavank Monastery, also known as the Surp Nshan Monastery of Getargel, is located on the village's southern outskirts. The monastery consists of two churches: the main church of Surp Nshan dating back to the 7th century, and the 13th-century two-story chapel. The monastic complex was entirely renovated between 2001 and 2004.
