The '''national emblem of the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic''' was adopted in 1937 by the government of the [[Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic]]. The device is based on the emblem of the [[Soviet Union]].<ref name="Izdatelʹstvo1967">{{cite book|author=Agentstvo pechati "Novosti." Izdatelʹstvo|title=Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qhExAAAAMAAJ|accessdate=8 August 2013|year=1967|publisher=Novosti Press Agency Publishing House}}</ref>

The emblem features a drilling rig representing [[Baku]]'s wealthy [[oil reservoir]]s and, behind it, a sunrise, standing for the future of the Azeri nation. The [[hammer and sickle]] are prominently featured above it while the red star (symbolizing "socialism on all five continents") sits at the top of the emblem, for the victory of Communism and the "world-wide socialist community of states". The outer rim features symbols of agriculture — wheat and cotton.

The slogan on the banner bears the Soviet Union state motto ("[[Workers of the world, unite!]]") in both the [[Russian language|Russian]] and [[Azerbaijani language]]s. In Azerbaijani, it is "'''Бүтүн өлкəлəрин пролетарлары, бирлəшин!'''" (in the current Azerbaijani Latin script: "''Bütün ölkələrin proletarları, birləşin!''").

The [[List of alternative country names|full name]] of the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic is spelled out in both in the Russian and Azeri languages.

The emblem was changed in 1992 to the [[coat of arms of Azerbaijan|present emblem]] which retains some parts of the Soviet one.
