Evaz Beg (also spelled Ivaz) was a 17th-century Safavid official and royal "gholam". Of Georgian origin, he served during the reign of Abbas II (1632–1666), and was the brother of one of the most prominent court eunuchs at the time, Mehtar Davud, as well as of the imperial treasurer and eunuch Mohammad Beg. In 1640, Evaz Beg was appointed governor ("vizier") of Lar. A few years later, in 1646–1647, he was briefly made governor ("hakem") of the nearby district of Bandar Abbas, which included the islands of Hormuz, Qeshm and Larek. In 1656, he was permitted to resign as governor of Lar and was appointed as "divanbegi" (chancellor, chief justice), while a few years later, in 1660, he was made governor ("vizier") of Bia-pas in Gilan and its provincial capital Rasht. 
Evaz Beg's descendants would hold the government of Lar (and later also that of Bandar Abbas) for many more years to come, until 1725. During this lengthy period, he and his family dominated the politics of the Persian Gulf littoral.
