Lazzara is a surname originating from the Aramaic given name Lazar, which is a form of the Hebrew name Elazar. This name is a conjunction of "El", meaning God and of "Azar", which means help. This translates roughly as "may God help him" or "God has helped". Historically, particular habits may have caused nicknames to become surnames; in Italy, Lazzara may have arisen from one who was a beggar, or biblically from leper.

Lazzara may refer to:

  • Adam Lazzara, lead singer for Taking Back Sunday.
  • Bernadette Peters (originally Lazzara), actress and singer
  • Marco Lazzara, 20th-century Italian countertenor.
  • Richard A. Lazzara, judge for the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida.
