Bassam Hajjar ((January 1, 1955 – February 17, 2009) was a Lebanese translator, poet, and literary critic. His works include Preoccupations of a Calm Man (1980) and he translated the works of Jacques Derrida among others. He was also a contributor to Al-Mustaqbal, a weekly newspaper.
For literary scholar Huda Fakhreddine, his prose poem "becomes a reader-ly text" and "an exercise in creative reading."
