Abul-Mahāsin Abu Bakr Zaynuddin Azraqi ( ) was an 11th-century poet who lived in Herat.

He turned Alfiyya va Shalfiyya into poetry, and is said to have presented himself to Shamsudowleh Abolfavāris Tughan-Shah, son of Alp Arslan. He also wrote a version of the Sandbad nama. Except for his qasidahs, none of the aforementioned works remain. He died in 10721 CE.
