Khadija Marouazi (Arabic: خديجة مروازي; born 1961) is a Moroccan human rights activist, writer and university lecturer for literature. Member of several human rights organizations in Morocco, she is also known for her debut novel History of Ash, originally written in Arabic and published in English translation in 2023. This fictional account of political repression during the so-called Years of Lead in Morocco and the traumatic effects on prisoners has been discussed by literary scholars as part of Arab women writers' prison literature.
