Hannibal Alkhas (Persian: هانیبال الخاص; June 16, 1930 – September 13, 2010) [1] was an artist of Assyrian descent from Iran.

In 1986, due to the persecution faced by intellectuals and artists in the 1980s, he left Iran and continued his life in the United States.

Hannibal Alkhas was born in Kermanshah in 1930 to an Assyrian family; due to his father's job as a customs officer, they moved from one city to another every few years.

Hannibal Alkhas was the brother of Marduk Al-Khas [fa], a film director and screenwriter who died in 2008.

Alongside other artists with a tendency towards the Tudeh Party, in 1985 he painted the walls of the United States Embassy in Tehran – at the time occupied by followers of Imam's Line – with anti-imperialist designs and images.

Alkhas has created thousands of paintings, including large and small canvases, 300 square meters of murals, and three 15-piece and four 8-piece curtains.

He translated 150 ghazals of Hafez into Assyrian with rhyme, rhythm, meaning, and humor, accompanied by over 50 images of his works.

He also translated works from Nima Youshij, Iraj Mirza, Mirzadeh Eshghi, and Parvin E'tesami into Assyrian.
