The Shāh Abdol-Azim Shrine (Persian: شاه عبدالعظیم; Arabic: مرقد الشاه عبد العظيم الحسني) is a Shia shrine and religious complex located in Rey, in the province of Tehran, Iran. The complex contains the tomb of Abd al-Azim al-Hasani, a descendant of the second Shia Imam Hasan. He was entombed here after his death in the 9th century CE.

Adjacent to the shrine, within the complex, are the mausoleums Tahir (son of the fourth Shia Imam - Sajjad) and Hamzeh (brother of the eighth Shia Imam - Reza).

The complex was added to the Iran National Heritage List in 1942, administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran. The complex is one of the holiest sites in Shia Islam.
