Varser () is a village in the Sevan Municipality of the Gegharkunik Province of Armenia.

== Etymology == The name Varser is derived from a root word meaning "hair". According to popular folklore, this refers to a girl who drowned in Lake Sevan, after which her long hair spread out across the water. The village was also previously known as Chirchir and Chrchr until 1946.
