Hacène Benali (Arabic: حسين بنعلي; born 14 October 1999) is an Algerian professional footballer who plays as a winger and forward for Ligue 2 club Red Star.

[2][3] His contributions played a large part in Poitiers's efforts to avoid relegation, and caught the eye of Concarneau, who signed him in July 2019.

[2][4] In his first season at Concarneau, Benali scored three goals in nineteen Championnat National matches, including nine starts.

However, he experienced a more complicated second half of the season, starting fewer matches and occasionally being left out of the matchday squad, which manager Stéphane Le Mignan attributed to a dip in Benali's form.

[6] Nevertheless, he ended the season as Concarneau's most productive offensive player with seven goals and three assists in twenty-seven games.
