Haidar Abdul-Razzaq Hassan (9 June 1982 – 5 June 2022) was an Iraqi footballer who represented Sulaymaniya FC and the Iraqi national team as a defender.

Haidar Abdul-Razzaq was a gifted defensive player who could play in any position.

He began his playing career with the Talaba youth squad in 1995, after which he switched to defense after playing goalkeeper for Al-Shurta youth team.

He was one of five players called up to the Talaba first team by coach Nazar Ashraf in 1996, and he was called up to the Iraqi Under-17s by Adnan Hamad two years later.

He also played for the Iraqi Under-19s under the same coach, winning the AFC Youth Championship final in spectacular fashion over Japan.

Milan Zivadinovic called up Haidar for Iraq’s 2002 World Cup qualifications, and he made his international debut against Lebanon in Beirut on January 31, 2000, in a 0-0 draw.

While Iraq was coached by Croatian Rudolf Belin, he made three more appearances in the 2002 World Cup qualifiers against Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Iran.

In 2002, he joined for Al-Ansar in Lebanon, but once the conflict ended, he returned to Talaba and established his place on the right side of the defense for the Olympic squad.
