Kindazi (Sumerian: 𒀭𒃱𒍣, kinda2-zi) was a minor Sumerian god. He was a "divine barber" and an acolyte of god Ningirsu.

He is known from inscriptions, such as a macehead dedicated by queen Ninkagina for the life of King Nam-mahani of Lagash:

𒀭𒃱𒍣 / π’ˆ—π’€€π’‰Œ / 𒉆𒋾 / π’‰†π’ˆ€π’‰Œ / 𒑐𒋼𒋛 / 𒉒𒁓𒆷𒆠𒂠 / π’Žπ’…Žπ’„€π’ˆΎ / π’Œ‰π’…—π’†¬π’†€ / π’…‡π’‰†π’‹Ύπ’†·π’‰Œπ’‚  / π’€€π’ˆ¬π’ˆΎπ’Š’ /𒅆𒁕𒁀 / π’ˆ—π’ˆ¬π’€π’£π’„€ / π’ƒΆπ’ˆ π’•π’£π’£ / π’ˆ¬π’‰
