Ahmad ibn Umar ibn Alī, known as Nizamī-i Arūzī-i Samarqandī (Persian: نظامی عروضی) was a Persian poet and prose writer of the 12th century.

Born in Samarqand, Aruzi spent time in the company of Omar Khayyám, and he is particularly famous for his Chahar Maqala ("Four Discourses"), his only work to fully survive.

He served in the courts of the Ghurids for many years, and is considered one of the elite of the Persian prose writers.
