Hanan the Egyptian (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />חנן המצרי‎, translit: Hanan ha-Mitzri) was a respected 2nd-century tannaic sage who first lived at Alexandria.[1] He later moved to the Judaea and was active among the scholars of Jabneh.[2][3] He was a disciple of Rabbi Akiva and is quoted among "those who argued before the sages."[4] Only one law, relating to the Temple service on the Day of Atonement, is preserved in his name (Yoma 63b).[4]

Another sage bearing the same name presided as a civil court judge in Jerusalem during Temple times. He was active a few generations earlier.[5][6]
