Fizuli is a rayon of Azerbaijan, partially under Armenian control since the end of Nagorno-Karabakh War. According to the administrative-territorial division of the NKR, the western part of Fuzuli is a part of the Hadrut region.
The town of Fizuli was founded in 1827 as a Russian settlement under the name Karyagino (Карягино). In 1959, the town and the associated rayon were renamed Fizuli after the medieval poet Muhammad Fuzûlî.
