Vokhna (Russian: Во́хна) was a village in Bogorodsky Uyezd of Moscow Governorate of the Russian Empire. It later became a part of the town of Pavlovsky Posad.

The area around Vokhna was one of the closest to Moscow with a large percentage of Old Believers in the population. Three Old Believer parishes currently remain.

Locals often refer to the Vokhonka River, which flows through Pavlovsky Posad, as "Vokhna".
