thumb|250px|Gehazi attempts to awaken the son of the Shunammite woman with the staff of Elisha. Gehazi, Geichazi, or Giezi (Douay-Rheims) (Hebrew: ; ; "valley of vision") is a figure found in the Books of Kings in the Hebrew Bible.
A servant of the prophet Elisha, Gehazi enjoyed a position of power but was ultimately corrupt, misusing his authority to cheat Naaman the Syrian, a general afflicted with leprosy. As punishment, Elisha cursed Gehazi, transferring Naaman's leprosy to him and his descendants.
