Roy Hasan (Hebrew: רועי חסן) (born 9 April 1983, in Hadera, Israel) is an Israeli contemporary Hebrew poet. He is a principal member of the Ars poetica literary movement.[1][2][3] In 2015 Hasan was awarded the 2015 Bernstein Prize.[2]

Hasan grew up in a Mizrahi family in a lower-class neighborhood in a lower-class town, and worked as a cook during his mandatory military service.[1] He continue to work as a low-paid cook after returning to civilian life.[1] His poetry is regarded as part of a Mizrachi rebellion against the Ashkenazi and elitist Israeli left-wing political and literary establishment.[1][2][3]
