Hazard is an English surname.

The name originates in early medieval England.

The surname first appears on record in the latter part of the 12th Century (below), and further early examples include: Geoffrey Hasard, noted in the 1185 Knights Templars' Records of Lincolnshire, and Walter Hassard (Kent, 1197).

In later decades it would be spelled as either "Hazard" or "Hazzard.".
