For a monoid M, this paper introduces the weak M- Armendariz rings which are a common generalization of the M- Armendariz rings and the weak Armendariz rings, and investigates their properties. Moreover, this paper proves that： a ring R is weak M-Armendariz if and only if for any n, the n-by-n upper triangular matrix ring Tn （R） over R is weak M- Armendariz; if I is a semicommutative ideal of ring R such that R/I is weak M-Armendariz, then R is weak M-Armendariz, where M is a strictly totally ordered monoid; if a ring R is semicommutative and M-Armendariz, then R is weak M × N- Armendariz, where N is a strictly totally ordered monoid; a finitely generated Abelian group G is torsion-free if and only if there exists a ring R such that R is weak G-Armendariz.
