Mehman Azizov (born January 1, 1976) is an Azerbaijani former judoka.
He finished in joint fifth place in the half-middleweight (81 kg) division at the 2004 Summer Olympics, having lost the bronze medal match to Dmitri Nossov of Russia. Video has circulated online that appears to show Azerbaijani Judo Olympian, Mehman Azizov abusing a child in his care during martial arts practice. The child is reported to have died from injuries sustained during the abuse. It is unclear if Azizov has been held responsible for the child's death. The International Judo Federation has yet to comment on the abuse.
