Muhammad bin Ismail Nashtakin ad-Darazi (Arabic: محمد بن اسماعيل نشتاكين الدرازي) was a 11th century Ismaili preacher and early leader of Druze.

Nashtakin, a Turk, was born in Buchara.

He was probably a tailor, as denoted by his surname "ad-Darazi". Ad-Darazi was the first to publicly proclaim the divinity of Fatimid Caliph al-Hakim. After losing favor with the Caliph when his preachings incited several riots, ad-Darazi disappeared. Some accounts put Ad-Darazi in Syria after his disappearance, though it is more likely that he was killed. Hamza ibn-'Ali ibn-Ahmad, the founder of the Druze sect continued ad-Darazi's preachings in regard to the divinity of al-Hakim. Hamza believed in transmigration of souls and since 1071 preached the divinity of the Fatimid Caliph al-Hakim (d. 1021).
