Crown Prince Hussein bin Abdullah (Arabic: الحسين بن عبد الله الثاني‎‎, Al-Ḥusayn bin ʿAbdullāh aṯ-ṯānī; born 28 June 1994) is the heir apparent to the throne of the Kingdom of Jordan and the eldest child of King Abdullah II and Queen Rania. He replaced his half-uncle, Prince Hamzah, as heir apparent in 2004, and was granted the title of crown prince in 2009. Since reaching the age of majority in 2012, Hussein has functioned as regent on several occasions.

Born in Amman on 28 June 1994 to then Prince Abdullah and Princess Rania, Prince Hussein is a member of the Hashemite family, and claimed to be the 42nd-generation descendant of Islamic prophet Muhammad, tracing his descent from the Prophet's daughter Fatimah and her husband Ali. Hussein was named after his paternal grandfather, the then-reigning King Hussein. His paternal grandmother is the English-born Princess Muna. Hussein's father was not expected to succeed to the throne despite being King Hussein's eldest son, as the King had appointed his younger brother Hassan as heir designate in 1965. Shortly before his death on 7 February 1999, the King replaced Hassan with Abdullah. In accordance with his father's wishes, King Abdullah II named his younger half-brother, Prince Hamzah, as heir designate on his accession.
