Aziz al-Hasan Ghouri (also known as Aziz al-Hasan Majzoob or Khwaja Aziz al-Hasan;^[1] 12 June 1884 – 17 August 1944) was an Indian Islamic scholar, poet and the primary biographer of Ashraf Ali Thanwi. He was an alumnus of Muhammadan Anglo-Oriental College and an authorized disciple of Ashraf Ali Thanwi in Sufism.

Ghouri held the titles of Khan Sahib and Khan Bahadur. His couplet Har Tamanna Dil Se Rukhsat Hogayi has been deemed to be one of the 100 most popular Urdu couplets. Thanwi commended it saying that if he had one hundred thousand rupees, he would give it to Ghouri.
