Mohammad Hussein El Hayek (; born 19 February 2000) is a Lebanese professional footballer who plays as a left-back for club Nejmeh and the Lebanon national team.
Club career El Hayek played for Ahed at the youth level. On 8 August 2019, Ahed loaned El Hayek to Safa for one season ahead of the 2019–20 Lebanese Premier League season.
He was reportedly sent on loan to Tadamon Sour for the 2022–23 season. However, the transfer was not registered as a loan because the Lebanese Football Association did not allow clubs to have more than three players on loan at the same time. Instead, El Hayek became a free agent during the 2022 summer transfer window and signed a one-year contract with Tadamon, with an agreement that he would return to Ahed in summer 2023.
In July 2023, El Hayek reportedly refused to sign for Ahed. He subsequently signed for Bourj on 18 July. Following the expiration of his contract with Bourj, El Hayek signed a three-year contract with Safa.https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=453214644117359&set=a.138908352214658
