Hazza' Barakat al-Majali (1917 – 29 August 1960) (Arabic: هزاع بركات المجالي‎‎ was two-time Prime Minister of Jordan. His first term lasted one week in 1955, his second term lasted from mid-1959 until his assassination.

Majali was born in Madaba, the Karak governorate in 1917. He was the son of a sheikh of the Majali tribe. He attended an elementary school in Ma'een, then transferred to Al-Raba School in Al-Karak, followed by Al-Karak School, and finally to Al-Salt school for his secondary education. Hazza' later studied Law in Damascus.

After high school, Majali worked for the Department of Land and Survey followed by the Madaba Court. After that, he studied Law in Damascus and returned to Jordan to work for the "Royal Protocol". He was appointed by King Abdullah I as Chairman of the Greater Amman Municipality, then served as the Minister of Agriculture (1950–1951) and as the Minister of Justice (1951 and 1954–1955) under Prime Minister Sameer al-Rifai. He won two Parliamentary elections to represent Al-Karak in the Jordanian Parliament, once in 1951 and again in 1954. He was also appointed as the Minister of Interior (1953–1954 and 1955). Hazza' first served as Prime Minister on December 15, 1955 when King Hussein tried to join the Baghdad Pact, but quickly resigned on December 20, 1955 following popular protests making his first government the shortest lasting government in Jordan's history. He was re-appointed as Prime Minister on 6 May 1959. He picked Wasfi al-Tal to be his assistant during this term. Majali was assassinated at his office on 29 August 1960.

At around 10:30 am on 29 August 1960, a bomb exploded in Majali's office, killing him and 11 other people including senior officials in the government.
