The imzad (Arabic: إمزاد; also called amzad) is a bowed instrument with one string used by the Tuareg people in Africa.

The body of the imzad is made from a gourd covered with animal skin, which forms a flat surface that helps produce sound. The string is made of horse hair and is attached near the neck of the instrument. The string runs over a bridge made of two pieces of wood joined together in a cross shape. The bow used to play the imzad is round and also has horse hair.

Traditionally, the imzad was played to accompany men's songs. However, the instrument is typically played by women to accompany songs during an evening ceremony called takket.
