Abbas Ahmad Hassan (Arabic: عباس أحمد حسن; born 10 May 1985) is a former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Born in Lebanon, Hassan moved to Sweden at a young age. Coming through the youth sector, Hassan made his professional debut at IF Elfsborg in 2005. After a loan at Aalborg BK in 2009–10, Hassan joined IFK Norrköping, with whom he stayed from 2011 to 2013. That year he returned to IF Elfsborg, playing three years, before moving to Örgryte IS in 2016. In 2017 Hassan moved for the first—and only—time away from Europe, playing in his country of origin, Lebanon. He played for Nejmeh between 2017 and 2020, when he retired.

Despite representing Sweden at youth level between 2003 and 2006, Hassan played 25 games for Lebanon at senior level between 2012 and 2018.
