The Annazids or Banu Annaz, Ayyarids, Banu Ayyar (990^[1]/991^[2]–late 12th century^[1]) was a Kurdish Sunni Muslim dynasty which ruled an oscillating territory on the present-day frontier between Iran and Iraq for about 130 years.^[1] The Annazids were related by marriage to the Hasanwayhids who they were in fierce rivalry with.^[1] The legitimacy of the Annazid rulers stemmed from the Buyid amir Bahāʾ al-Dawla and the dynasty relied on the Shadhanjan Kurds.^[2]

Although Annazid authority declined in several generations, the dynasty did not disappear. In late 12th century, Surkhab III ibn Annaz was a ruler of Luristan.^[1]
