Abd al-Hafid ibn al-Hasan (between 1875 and 1880 – 4 April 1937) was the Sultan of Morocco from 1908 to 1912 and a member of the Alaouite Dynasty. His younger brother, Abdelaziz of Morocco, preceded him. While Abd al-Hafid initially opposed his brother, finally deposing him in a coup, for giving some concessions to foreign powers, he himself became increasingly backed by the French and finally signed the protectorate treaty giving de facto control of the country to France.
