Isma'il Yasin (also credited as Ismail Yassin; Arabic: إسماعيل ياسين IPA: [esmæˈʕiːl jæˈsiːn]; 15 September 1912 – 24 May 1972) was an Egyptian actor and script writer. He was known for his slapstick humor and has been compared to Charlie Chaplin. He began his acting career in 1939 with the film Khalaf El-Habayeb (1939; Arabic: خلاف الحبيب, romanized: The Son of the Dears).
