İstisu (also, Istibulagh; Armenian: Ջերմաջուր Jermajur) is a small village in the Kelbajar district of Azerbaijan. The area has been under the control of forces from Nagorno-Karabakh since 1993.

Situated in a river valley, İstisu has historically been a resort town, attracting people from all over the USSR to be treated at mineral-springs baths.[2] The name İstisu means "hot water" in Azerbaijani language.

In 2018 it was reported that work has begun on a privately funded factory to produce mineral water.[2]
