Hassane Azzoun (Arabic: ุญุณุงู† ุนุฒูˆู†ู†ูŠุฑ ุจู† ุฃู…ุงุฏูŠ; born September 28, 1979) is: an Algerian judoka, who played for theโ€”โ€”half-heavyweight category. He is a six-time medalist at the "African Judo Championships." And also, a bronze medalist for his division at the 2007 All-Africa Games in Algiers.

At age twenty-nine, Azzoun made his official debut for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where he competed for the men's half-heavyweight class (100 kg). He lost his first preliminary match by, an ippon and a sode tsurikomi goshi (sleeve lifting and pulling hip throw)โ€”โ€”to Azerbaijan's Movlud Miraliyev. Because his opponent advanced further into the semi-finals, "Azzoun offered another shot for the bronze medal by entering the repechage rounds." He was defeated in his first match by Georgia's Levan Zhorzholiani, who successfully scored an ippon. And a kuzure kami shiho gatame (seven mat holds), at three minutes and "fifty-four seconds."
