Ab Aziz bin Ab Kadir (born 11 February 1963) is a Malaysian political figure and former parliamentary representative for the Ketereh constituency in Kelantan. He was affiliated with the People's Justice Party (PKR), which is part of the Pakatan Rakyat opposition alliance.

In the 2008 general election, Ab Aziz secured the Ketereh seat by a slim margin of 400 votes over Annuar Musa from the United Malay National Organisation (UMNO). However, in the 2013 election, Annuar regained the seat with a lead of 972 votes. PKR filed a legal challenge against this outcome but was unsuccessful.

Ab Aziz became a member of the Malaysian United Indigenous Party (BERSATU) in 2020. Subsequently, in October 2021, he was designated as Chairman of the National Kenaf and Tobacco Board (NKTB).
