Rawwadid, Ravvadid (also Revend or Revendi), or Banū Rawwād (Arabic: بنو رَوّاد) (955–1071) was a Sunni Muslim Kurdish^[1]^[4] dynasty, centered in the northwestern region of Adharbayjan (Azerbaijan) between the late 8th and early 13th centuries.^[1]

Originally of Azdi Arab descent,^[5] the Rawadids ruled Tabriz and northeastern Adharbayjan in the late 8th and early 9th centuries.^[1] The family became Kurdicized by the early 10th century and became centered on Tabriz and Maragha.^[6] In the second half of the 10th century and much of the 11th century, these Kurdified descendants controlled much of Adharbayjan as well as parts of Armenia.^[1]
