Chup Tazia (Urdu: چپ تعزیہ) is the name given to an annual religious procession held by Twelver Shia Muslims in India and Pakistan to commemorate the death of Imam Hasan al-Askari, the Eleventh of the Twelver Shi'a Imams.

The processions are held on the 8th of Rabi' al-awwal, according to the Islamic calendar. The procession is usually regarded as the last procession of the mourning period that begins in the Islamic month of Muharram.

The procession under the name of 'Chup Tazia' is believed to have originated in the Indian city of Lucknow before spreading to other parts of South Asia^{[citation needed]}.

In this procession the mourners usually carry agarbatti (incense sticks) and walk silently, accompanying the zaree (coffin).

In Hyderabad (India) the procession starts from Dabeerpura Flyover and reaches Alawa-e-Sartouq Mubarak at Darushafa which is a Shia Majority area in Hyderabad just before evening prayers (maghrib prayers). At this place a short majlis is arranged and after this majlis the black flags which symbolise sorrow are removed and red flags are hoisted which symbolise the Joy. This changing of flags takes place as the next day, the ninth of Rabi al awwal, is festival day (Eid e Zehra s.w.a). Moreover it is the belief of Shia Islam that we have to be happy when Ahlebait a.s (the family of Prophet Mohammad a.s., specifically the Panjetane paak a.s.) is happy and we have to be sad when they are.

The literal meaning of Chup Tazia is as follows : Chup means silence, Tazia means procession in which a coffin (tazia) is carried. Chup Tazia can be defined as a silent procession carrying a coffin. Chup Tazia began in Pakistan after the partion India and Pakistan in 1948^{[citation needed]}. Mr. Nawab Hassan Lucknowi is founder Chup Tazia in Karachi, Pakistan. After his death, his son continues his mission. Now Mr. Imtiaz Hussain has led the Chup Tazia procession in Nishter Park, Karachi.
