Abd al-Aziz ibn al-Walid (; died 728/9) was a member of the Umayyad dynasty and a military leader in the wars against the Byzantine Empire. He was a son of the Caliph al-Walid I (reigned 705–715). He led in his first campaign against the Byzantines in Asia Minor in 709, when he captured a fortress, although his uncle Maslamah ibn Abd al-Malik led the main raid of the year afterwards. In 710 he led the main Umayyad attack, although under the auspices of Maslamah as commander-in-chief for the Byzantine front, and in 713 he led an attack against the frontier fortress of Gazelon.
