Hamza Hakimzade Niyazi (March 6 [O.S. February 22] 1899, Kokand – March 18, 1929, Shohimardon) was a Soviet and Uzbek poet.

Hamza Niyazi was first educated in a maktab, then in a madrassah. Having organized a free school for the children of the poor of Uzbekistan, Niyazi also devoted himself to the project in the capacity of a teacher.

Niyazi ardently supported the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. He joined the All-Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks) in 1920 (from 1925 the organization was known as the Communist Party of the Soviet Union).

He was stoned to death in Shohimardon by Islamic fundamentalists for his anti-religious activities. For many years he was considered a founder of the modern Uzbek poetry.
