Abdel Aziz al-Rantisi Hospital (Arabic: مستشفى الرنتيسي) is a children's hospital in the Nasser neighborhood of Gaza City.[1] It is named after Abdel Aziz al-Rantisi, leader and co-founder of Hamas.

The hospital's pediatric palliative care unit, the Dr. Musa And Suhaila Nasir Pediatric Cancer Department, was created in 2019 by U.S. charity Palestine Children's Relief Fund.[2][3]

As of November 2023, Bakr Gaoud was the head of the hospital.[4]
