Hassan II Stadium (Arabic: ملعب الحسن الثاني) is a planned football stadium to be built in Benslimane, just east of Casablanca. Once completed in 2028, it will be used mostly for football matches and will serve as the home of the Morocco national football team. The stadium is planned to have a capacity of 115,000 spectators, making it the largest football stadium in the world. It will also replace Stade Mohammed V as the home stadium of Morocco's largest clubs Raja CA and Wydad AC.

The initial project was planned for the World Cup in 2010, for which Morocco lost their bid to South Africa. It included five major stadiums across the country, including Ibn Batouta Stadium, the Marrakesh Stadium and two more in the cities of Agadir and Fez. Years after, it was one of the fourteen host venues for Morocco's bid to host the 2026 World Cup and would have staged the opening and final matches but the United bid of Canada, Mexico and the United States was voted. Its construction was finally confirmed in October 2023 after the announcement of Morocco's hosting of the 2025 African Cup of Nations and the 2030 World Cup with Spain and Portugal. The Stadium is named after Hassan II of Morocco.
