Sir Muhammad Azizul Haque, KCSI, CIE (27 November 1892 – 23 March 1947), also known as Muhammad Azizul Huq or Mohammad Azizul Huque, was a Bengali lawyer, writer and public servant. He studied at Presidency College and University Law College in Calcutta. He worked to better the condition of Muslim people, primarily in the rural farmlands. This led him to work with Sher-e-Bangla A.K. Fazlul Haque, Sir Abdulla Suhrawardy, Sir Salimullah and Muhammad Ali Jinnah. He remained friends with many throughout his life.

He served, from 1926, on the Bengal Legislative Council, as Education minister for Bengal (1934–1937), as the speaker of the Bengal Legislative Assembly (1937–1942), as the vice-chancellor of Calcutta University (1938–1942),^[2] as the High Commissioner for India in the United Kingdom (December 1941 – May 1943), and as the member in charge, on the Viceroy's Executive Council, of the Department of Commerce, Food, Industries and Civil supplies (May 1943 – 1945).^[3][4]
