Azcaxochitl, or Azcasuch (Classical Nahuatl: Āzcaxōch [aːsˈkaʃoːtʃ] ) was a cihuatlatoani (queen) of the pre-Columbian Acolhua altepetl of Tepetlaoztoc in the Valley of Mexico. Her name is Nahuatl for a kind of a flower (literally "ant-flower").^[1]^[2]

She is believed to have been a daughter of Nezahualcoyotl, ruler of Texoco.^[3] Azcasuch married Cocopin, the ruler of Tepetlaoztoc, c. 1431.^[4] After her husband's death, she ascended to the throne herself as queen regnant.^[4]^[5]

Azcasuch was succeeded by her grandson, Diego Tlilpotonqui.^[6]
