Hassan Mustafa Booker (born September 1, 1975) is an American former college basketball player and coach best known for his playing career at the United States Naval Academy (Navy) from 1994 to 1998. He was a key performer during a four-year stretch that saw the Midshipmen win three Patriot League regular season titles, two Patriot League tournament titles (plus finish as runners-up in a third), and make back-to-back NCAA tournament appearances in 1997 and 1998. Booker was a two-time first-team All-Patriot League selection in his junior and senior seasons. At the conclusion of the 1997–98 season, Booker was named the winner of the Chip Hilton Player of the Year Award, a national award given by the NCAA to a Division I player who demonstrated outstanding character, leadership, integrity, humility, sportsmanship, and talent.

After graduating in 1998, Booker served in the United States Navy as a surface warfare officer and lieutenant. Booker spent two seasons at Tulsa before leaving basketball to pursue a career in business.
