Hakan Ünsal (born 14 May 1973) is a Turkish former professional footballer who played as a left wingback.

Hakan Ünsal is remembered by many for his rocket left foot and his pinpoint passing as well as his ambition.

After being a part of the squad that won the UEFA Cup in 2000, Ünsal moved to Blackburn Rovers of the English Premiership in January 2002.

He played for Turkey national team and was a participant at the 2002 FIFA World Cup where he collected his third place medal.

The ball hit Rivaldo on his legs but he collapsed dramatically holding his face and consequently Ünsal was sent off and Brazil went on to win the match.
