Hajji Lotf-Ali Beg Azar Bigdeli, better known as Azar Bigdeli ("Azar" was his pen name; 1722–1781), was an Iranian anthologist and poet.
He is principally known for his biographical anthology, the Atashkadeh-ye Azar (Azar's Fire Temple), which he dedicated to Iranian ruler Karim Khan Zand (r.
1751–1779).
Written in Persian, it is considered "the most important Persian anthology of the eighteenth century".
Azar was a leading figure of the bazgasht-e adabi ("literary return") movement.
