Mizar is the eponymous debut studio album by the rock band Mizar. It was released in 1988 on Helion. This is the first major rock record in Macedonian.

In 1997, it was re-released as Svedozhba, on CD and cassette with bonus live and demo tracks. The versions of the album tracks on Svedozhba are taken from vinyl. Goran Tanevski was the only Mizar member involved with the project.

In 2003, this album and Svjat Dreams were remastered and rereleased, containing live and demo tracks.

A music video was filmed for "Hoden zhe", showing the band playing the song in front of a church.

"Slavjani", "Dozhd po dozhdot" and "Gradot e nem" are from a Mizar demo tape in 1988. "Dozhdot" was recorded live at the Kurshumli An in 1990.

On "Svedozhba", "Chifte chamche", "Samo eden mig" and "Veligden" are taken from the Kurshumli An concert in 1990. "Svjat Dreams" is a darker sounding version of the final track, recorded in 1989. "1762", "Dumanje" and "Abja mem" are all taken from Svjat Dreams.
