Hosni Abd Rabbo Abdul Muttalib Ibrahim (Arabic: حسني عبد ربه عبد المطلب إبراهيم; born 1 November 1984) is an Egyptian football manager and a former professional footballer who played as a central or attacking midfielder.

Hosny was usually deployed as a deep-lying playmaker in midfield for both his club and national sides.

Hosny spent most of his career at his boyhood club Ismaily where he played with the first team for more than 15 seasons. He is also one of the few players to refuse to leave the club to join their rivals Al Ahly.
