Azaz (Arabic: أعزاز‎ A‘zāz, Hurrian: Azazuwa, Medieval Greek: Αζάζιον, romanized: Azázion, Neo-Assyrian: Ḫazazu, Old Aramaic: Ḥzz) is a city in northwest Syria, roughly 20 miles (32 kilometres) north-northwest of Aleppo.

It is historically significant as the site of the Battle of Azaz between the Crusader States and the Seljuk Turks on June 11, 1125. It is notable for its proximity to a Syrian–Turkish border crossing, which enters Turkey at Öncüpınar, south of the city of Kilis.
