Harold 'Hassa' Mann (born 10 October 1940) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for and captained Melbourne in the VFL during the 1960s. He earned the name Hassa when he was a toddler, from his cousin and future Melbourne footballer Len Mann.

A centreman, Mann was recruited from Rutherglen, Victoria and made his debut for Melbourne in their premiership season of 1959. He was a premiership player again the following season and went on to become the club captain in 1965, a position he kept for 4 seasons.

Mann finished in the Top 10 of the Brownlow Medal count 4 times, including placing equal 7th in 1966 and equal 5th in 1967. He won Melbourne's Best and Fairest back to back in 1962 and 1963, and for a third time in 1967. He also twice topped their goalkicking, doing so as captain in 1967 and 1968. For his performance for Victoria in the 1966 Hobart Carnival he earned All Australian selection.

After finishing his league career he became a captain-coach at South Fremantle, winning a best and fairest in his debut season.

In 2000 he was named at the half forward flank in Melbourne's official 'Team of the Century'.
