Jazerant (Jaz´er`ant), or Hauberk jazerant, is a form of medieval light coat of armour consisting of mail between layers of fabric or leather. It was largely used in Turkey, the Middle East and Persia from the 11th and 12th century, at the end of the 13th and throughout the 14th century. In the following centuries, its used was replaced by that of the Jaque. Also known as Kazaghand, Gazarant or Gesserant, its name has been variously interpreted but most likely derives from the Arabic Jacerina, which means Algerine. The Arabs of north Africa were renowned for their mail coats.

- Jazerant was a Light Armor of the Ivory Kingdoms, better suited for fighting in hotter climates. It was the lightest and the least popular armor, only used when there was no other alternative, or when the Kshatriya traveled to Medinaat al-Salaam and the Burning Sands.
