Edward William "Nuts" Hasell (26 April 1889 — 7 April 1966) was a New Zealand rugby union international.
Born in Christchurch, Hasell was a Merivale and Canterbury player, capped twice by the All Blacks against the touring 1913 Australians. He played as a forward but was a noted goal-kicker, specialising in the now obsolete goal from mark.
