Fazlu l-Lah Astar-Abadi (Naimi) (Persian: ), also known as Fazlullah Tabrizi Astarabadi by a pseudonym al-?urufi and a pen name Naimi, was an Iranian mystic who founded the ?urufi movement.

His followers first came from the village of Toqchi near Isfahan and from there, the fame of his small community spread throughout Khorasan, ?Eraq, Azerbaijan and Shirvan. The center of Fazlullah Naimi's influence was Baku and most of his followers came from Shirvan.. Among his followers was the famous ?urufi poet Seyyed Imadaddin Nasimi, one of the greatest Turkic mystical poets of the late 14th and early 15th centuries.
