Fizuli is a rayon of Azerbaijan, partially under Armenian control since the end of Nagorno-Karabakh War.

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.
