Yisrael Hasson (Hebrew: ישראל חסון, born 27 April 1955) is an Israeli politician and former Deputy Director of Shin Bet.

He served in Shin Bet for twenty-three years, and is considered a celebrated agents' recruiter and operations leader.

In 2001, after Ariel Sharon told him to ignore a cease-fire offer from Marwan Barghouti during the Second Intifada, Hasson resigned from the organization and entered business.

He founded the Hasson Energy company which delivers fuel to factories and gas stations in Israel's north, and also traded with the Palestinian National Authority.

The immediate reason, while not official, is generally believed to be Lieberman's statements condemning Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak.
