Shāh Abdul Azīz Hotak (Pashto/Dari: عبد العزیز هوتک; died 1717) was the second ruler of the Ghilji Hotak dynasty of Kandahar, in what is today the state of Afghanistan. He was crowned in 1715 after the death of his brother, Mirwais Hotak. He was the father of Ashraf Hotak, the fourth ruler of the Hotak dynasty. Abdul Aziz was killed in 1717 by his nephew Mahmud Hotak.[1] The tradition of parricide continued as Mahmud died at the hands of his cousin and Abdul Azīz's son Ashraf.[1]
