The Republic of Martyazo was a secessionist state proclaimed by Hutu rebels in Burundi on 1 May 1972. The state was located inside the mountainous Vuzigo commune, between the Makamba and Lake Nyanza. On 9 May 1972, the Tutsi dominated government occupied the region, ending the rebellion and existence of Martyazo.

Due to its short life span, formal government structures were never set up. Antoine Serukwavu was said to have been president of Martyazo.
