Hammad bin Zayd bin Dirham (Arabic: حماد بن زيد بن درهم (716–795)) was an Islamic scholar and jurisprudent from Basrah, Iraq. He was a blind, hujjah (proofed) and an able hadith narrator who memorized all his hadiths well. Hamad did not use tadlis (concealment). He was highly regarded for his knowledge and was considered to be on par with Imam Malik in terms of his scholarly contributions. Hammad bin Zayd was known for his firm stance against the Jahmiyyah, a theological group that held controversial views about the nature of Allah.
