Hassan al-Roueini (born 8 June 1950) was the Egyptian military commander for the Cairo area during the 2011 revolution. He was a member of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces from 2007 till 2012.

On 10 February General al-Roueini told protestors in Tahrir Square, "All your demands will be met today".[1] On the following day President Hosni Mubarak ceded power to the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces.

On 23 March 2011 Major General al-Roueini welcomed US Defence Secretary Robert Gates to Cairo.[2]

Major General al-Roueini has promised that secret military tribunals - at which between seven and ten thousand Egyptian citizens were tried between February and July 2011 - will be phased out once the state prosecutor's office is properly functioning.[3]
