Ibrahim Hashem (Arabic: إبراهيم هاشم‎‎, 1888 – 14 June 1958) was a Jordanian lawyer and politician of Palestinian descent who served in several high offices under Faisal I of Iraq, Abdullah I of Jordan and Hussein of Jordan.

Hashem was born in Nablus and educated in Istanbul. In 1915 he joined the army and then the Arab government in Damascus. He taught law at Damascus University and was appointed by Faisal I of Iraq to the Court of Appeal. In 1920 he moved to Jordan following the French occupation of Syria.

In 1933 he became Prime Minister, Minister of Justice and head of the Supreme Court of Trans-Jordan. Other offices include:

Hashem was assassinated in 1958 in Baghdad. He was working on the newly established Arab Federation between Jordan and Iraq and traveled to Baghdad with Minister of Defense Suleiman Tukan and Minister of State for the External Affairs Khlusi Al Khairi. Their party was attacked by revolutionaries near the Baghdad airport, and Hashem and Tukan were killed.
