Muadianvita Machez "Kaz" Kazadi (born December 20, 1973) is a Zairian former American football linebacker who is currently the strength and conditioning coach for the TCU Horned Frogs.

Born in Kinshasa, Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo), Kazadi's family moved to the United States when he was age eight, settling in Newton, Kansas, where he played football at Newton High School. He signed to play college football for the Tulsa Golden Hurricane as a linebacker, playing for them from 1992 to 1996 while leading them in tackles in his last three years. He was a Butkus Award semifinalist as a senior when he played the majority of the season with a torn bicep.

Kazadi was selected in the sixth round of the 1997 NFL draft by the St. Louis Rams and made the team in his first year, appearing in 12 games. Released in 1998, he played for the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League (CFL) in 1999. He then joined the Kansas City Chiefs in 2001 and was allocated to NFL Europe to play for the Barcelona Dragons. He concluded his career with the Buffalo Bills in 2002, being released before the start of the season.

Kazadi started his coaching career with the Missouri Tigers, then worked as an assistant strength and conditioning coach for the Kansas City Chiefs for two years and with the USF Bulls for one year. He was named head strength and conditioning coach for the Baylor Bears in 2008 and remained with the team through 2016. After a brief stint with the Dallas Cowboys, Kazadi worked with the Arkansas State Red Wolves in 2017, for the SMU Mustangs from 2018 to 2021 and with the TCU Horned Frogs since 2022.
