El Hassan El-Abbassi (born 13 April 1984)[2][3] is a Moroccan-born long-distance runner who competes internationally for Bahrain.

He failed to progress much further in 2012, with a podium finish at the Yangzhou Half Marathon and fourth at the Philadelphia Distance Run being his best races abroad.

Running in the 10,000 m he held the lead and beat Suguru Osako to the line to win the gold medal – maintaining Bahrain's dominance for a third straight edition.
