Baylar Hasan oghlu Eyyubov (Azerbaijani: Bəylər Həsən oğlu Eyyubov, born March 11, 1951) is a Colonel-General, the Chief of the Security Service of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan. First Deputy Chief of the Special State Protection Service of the Republic of Azerbaijan (2003-2020). He has been described as an influential actor in Azerbaijani politics due to his close relationship to Azerbaijan's authoritarian leader Ilham Aliyev.[2]

During his two decades as head of security for Ilham Aliyev, Eyyubov has enriched himself considerably.[2] Even though his only known source of wealth is a modest government salary for the last thirty years, his family has spent at least $160 million through secretive offshore companies on real estate in the United Kingdom and Dubai.[2]
