Khairul Azwan bin Harun (Jawi: خيرالعزوان بن هارون, Malay pronunciation: [khairul azwan]; born 19 October 1976) or more commonly known as Azwanbro is a Malaysian politician.[1][2][3] He is a former Malaysian Senator which is part of the Dewan Negara.[4] He is a member of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), a major party in the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition.

Azwan has been vocal in championing the issues related to youth and the future generations of Malaysia. His progressive political views can be seen through various initiatives that he brought forward including supporting English medium school, organising interfaith dialogue, and becoming the chairman for Kuala Lumpur International Youth Discourse (KLIYD).[5][6][7][8] He was the chairman for KLIYD for 2 consecutive years.

He has formerly been the Vice Youth Chief of UMNO and a member of UMNO Supreme Council chaired by the Party President. He won the post in the national party election with Khairy Jamaluddin who won the post of National Leader of UMNO Youth Wing.[9][10] Prior to this, Azwan was the Leader of Barisan Nasional Perak Youth (the youth organisation of Malaysia's governing coalition), and the Head of the Perak State UMNO Youth Wing. At UMNO's grassroots level, he has held the post of Youth Chief and is currently the Division Chief of UMNO Pasir Salak.
