Saizana (unvocalized Ge'ez: ሠዐዘነ śʿzn) was the brother of King Ezana of Axum, who changed the official religion of the Axumite Kingdom to Christianity. That kingdom abutted the Red Sea. According to the historian Tyrannius Rufinus, he was converted to Christianity with his brother Ezana by the missionary Frumentius. With his brother, he resisted the attempts of the Christian Roman emperor Constantius II to relieve Frumentius of his post as bishop and replace him with an Arian (which was a different sect of Christianity).

The two brothers were victorious, and six Beja tribes (4400 people) were relocated to a province called , which is believed to have been situated similarly to the modern province of Begemder in Ethiopia.
