Salah Niazi (Arabic: صلاح نيازي, (Ṣalāḥ Nīyāzī); born 1935) is an Iraqi poet and translator from the city of Nasiriyah currently living in the United Kingdom.

He worked at the BBC Arabic Service for almost twenty years and also received a doctorate from the University of London.

[4] Salah Niazi is married to Samira al-Mani (Arabic: سميرة المانع, Samīra al-Māniʿ) who is also a writer from Iraq.

Niazi has also translated notable works of the English language, such as James Joyce's Ulysses, which he did so in part to distract himself from the horrors of the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s.

[5] Other translations into Arabic include William Shakespeare's plays, Macbeth, King Lear, and Hamlet.
