Adhamiyah (Arabic: ألأعظمية, al-aʿẓamiyyah; BGN: Al A‘z̧amīyah) is a north-eastern suburb of Baghdad, Iraq. It is a relatively poor area with a predominately Sunni Muslim population, although it is considered a 'mixed' area as many move to the area to enjoy the scenic beauty that this area possesses. The name is a reference to Abū Ḥanīfah an-Nuʿmān, a renowned scholar and founder of the prominent Sunni Ḥanafī School of Islamic Religious Jurisprudence. Abu Hanifa Mosque is also a prominent landmark of the area, where Abu Hanifa an-Nu‘man is buried.

Adhamiyah has been the site of many clashes between Iraqi insurgents and US forces.
