Al-Buzuriyah Souq (Arabic: سُوقُ ٱلْبُزُورِيَّةِ, romanized: Sūq al-Buzūrīyah) is a historical souk located to the south of the Umayyad Mosque inside the old walled city of Damascus, Syria.[1] The souk is famous for its spices vendors, and the many historical khans located along it, including Khan As'ad Pasha. On its southern end it meets Medhat Pasha Souq.

Perfumes and spices are sold on the market, as well as various types of sweets, products, dried fruit and soap (olive oil soap and the famous Syrian laurel soap).
