Awaz Sayeed (عوض سعید) was a modern short-story writer, poet, playwright, Khaka-naveez and humorist from Hyderabad, India.

He was renowned for his distinctive, innovative, and inimitable style of Urdu short story writing. The use of symbolism and dialogue was the mainstay of his Urdu short stories (muqtasar kahaniyan). He handled a variety of subjects, but concentrated on exploring the inner self and the human pulse in a deeply touching manner. He is counted among the few modern Urdu writers (jadeed Afsana nigar) of the Indian sub-continent who gave a new meaning to Urdu Afsana.

Awaz Sayeed’s first Urdu Afsana Jeetey Jaagtey was published in 1949 in Nizam-e-Lahore. Thereafter, several of his stories have been published in Urdu magazines of the Indian Sub-continent. His stories have been translated into English, Hindi, Malayalam and Telugu.
