Hatem Yassen (Arabic: حاتم ياسين Ḥātam Yāsīn; born 21 August 1986) is an Egyptian professional snooker player. Yassen turned professional in 2015 winning the African Championship.
In 2015, Yassen beat fellow countryman and former professional Mohamed Khairy 6–5 in the final of the African Championship. The win gained him a two-year card on the World Snooker Tour for the 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 seasons. He lost all six matches he played during the season and failed to pick up a frame in four of them. It was a similar story the following season as he lost all eight matches he played and he has now dropped off the tour.
