Hassan Djamous (died 1989) was a Commander in Chief of the Chadian Army and a cousin of current Chadian President Idriss Déby.cite web |url= http://www.nationsencyclopedia.com/World-Leaders-2003/Chad-PERSONAL-BACKGROUND.html |title= Chad|accessdate=2007-02-04 |work=Encyclopedia of the Nations|publisher=Thomson Corporation] The Hassan Djamous International Airport is named after him.

He led Chadian forces during the Chadian-Libyan conflict, such as the victory in the Battle of Maaten al-Sarra.

Djamous was killed on orders of Hissène Habré, a former President, who suspected him of plotting a coup d'état along with his cousin, Déby, and Mahamat Itno, Minister of the Interior; Déby was the only one of the three who survived.cite web |url=http://hrw.org/justice/habre/habre-police.htm |title= Hissène Habré |accessdate=2007-02-04 |work= The Political Police Files |publisher=Human Rights Watch ]
