Ajinateppa (Tajik: Аҷинатеппа, romanizedAjinateppa, Russian: Аджина-Тепе; ) is a Buddhist monastery cluster located 12 kilometers east of the city of Bokhtar, Tajikistan.

Buddhism in Tokharistan is said to have enjoyed a revival under the Western Turks. Several monasteries dated to the 7th-8th centuries display beautiful Buddhist works of art, such as Qal'a-i Kafirnihān, Ajinateppa, Khisht Tepe or Kafyr Kala, around which Turkic nobility and populations followed Hinayana Buddhism.[1]

This site was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List on September 11, 1999 in the Cultural category.[2]
