Aqa Riza, also Aqā Rizā Haravi (Persian: آقا رضا هروی), was a Persian artist active in India at the Mughal court, about 1580–1620.[1] He is said to have been from Khorasan.[2] He may have been from Herat (modern Afghanistan), as suggested by his surname "Haravi".

He is not to be confused with Reza Abbasi, a Persian artist who also used the same name "Aqa Reza".
