Azizan bin Sulaiman is a Malaysian politician who served as Member of the Perlis State Executive Council (EXCO) in the Barisan Nasional (BN) state administration under former Menteri Besar Azlan Man from June 2018 to the collapse of the BN state administration in November 2022 as well as Member of the Perlis State Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Santan from May 2018 to November 2022. He is a member and Division Deputy Chief of Padang Besar of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), a component party of the BN coalition.
On 13 June 2018, Azizan was appointed as the Perlis State EXCO Member in charge of Housing, Local Government, Hawkers, Small Business Development, Domestic Trade, Co-operatives, Consumer Affairs, Entrepreneur Development and Small–Medium Industries by Menteri Besar Azlan.
On 22 November 2022, Azizan lost his position after the BN state administration collapsed following the huge defeat of BN in the 2022 Perlis state election that wiped BN out of the assembly.
In the 2018 Perlis state election, Azizan made his electoral debut after being nominated by BN to contest for the Santan state seat. He won the seat and was elected into the Perlis State Legislative Assembly as the Santan MLA after defeating Che Mazlina Che Yob of Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Baharuddin Ahmad of Gagasan Sejahtera (GS) by a majority of 949 votes.
In the 2022 Perlis state election, Azizan was renominated by BN to defend the Santan seat. He lost the seat and was not reelected as the Santan MLA after losing to Mohammad Azmir Azizan of Perikatan Nasional (PN) by a minority of 2,108 votes.
