Azzan is a town in southern Yemen. Located in the Mayfa'a district of Shabwah Governorate, the town has a population of around 12,400 people as of 2004, and is the second-largest commercial center in the province.
== Economy == Azzan is the second largest commercial center in Shabwah, only behind the provincial capital of Ataq. This is due to its position along a major highway which connects Aden to Hadhramaut Governorate, and being at the center of four southern districts in Shabwah; Mayfa'a, Ar Rawdah, Rudum and Habban. It is also located near Balhaf, which contains a major oil facility off the coast of Yemen. Azzan is a hub for thousands of shoppers from across Shabwah during weekdays, but is relatively empty during weekends. After a prolonged period of instability which negatively affected the economy, Azzan had experienced a revival in commercial activity by 2018, owing to both an improvement in the local security situation and the arrival of expatriates from more unstable areas of Yemen as well as from Saudi Arabia.
