ʻAbd al-Razzāq ( ALA-LC romanization of ar, عبد الرزاق) is a male Muslim given name, and in modern usage, surname. It is built from the Arabic words '' ʻabd'' and ''al-Razzāq'', one of the names of God in the Qur'an, which give rise to the Muslim theophoric names. It means "servant of the all-provider".

, the letter ''l'' of the ''al-'' is assimilated to it. Thus although the name is written in Arabic with letters corresponding to ''Abd al-Razzaq'', the usual pronunciation corresponds to ''Abd ar-Razzaq''. Alternative renderings include ''‘Abd ar-Razzaq'', ''Abdul Razzaq'', ''Abdur Razaq'', ''Abdul Razzak'' and others, all subject to variable spacing and hyphenation. It may refer to:
