Khuda Hafiz (Persian: خداحافظ, romanized: Khodâ Hâfez), Pashto: خداۍ حافظ (khuday hafiz), Bengali: খ়োদা হাফ়েজ় (Khoda Hafez), Kashmiri: خۄدا حٲفِظ (Khọdā Hạ̄fiz), Urdu: خُدا حافِظ, Hindi: ख़ुदा हाफ़िज़, (Xudā Hāfiz), Kurdish: خودا حافیز, (kẖwạ ḥạfy̰z), Azerbaijani: Xüdafiz), is a common parting phrase originating in the Persian language. It is most commonly used in Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and in the Indian subcontinent, where it is also sometimes used by non-Muslims including some Christians and Parsis.

In Persian, it is colloquially often shortened to Khodafez.
