For other persons named Tezozomoc, see Tezozomoc (disambiguation).
Tezozomoc (or Tezozómoc) was a Tepanec leader who ruled the city-state of Azcapotzalco from 1371 to 1426. Aztec histories, written down in the early colonial period, portray Tezozomoc as a military and political genius who oversaw an expansion of Tepanec influence, bringing about Azcapotzalco's dominance in the Valley of Mexico and beyond.
He was referred to in Peter G. Tsoura's book Warlords of the Ancient Americas as "the Mexican Machiavelli".
Upon his death in 1426, he was succeeded by his son Maxtla.[verification needed]
