Baal-hanan (בַּעַל חָנָן / בָּעַל חָנָן, Canaanite Báʿal ḥānān / Bāʿal ḥānān, Standard Hebrew Báʿal ḥanan) means "Baal is gracious". There are two men by this name in the Hebrew Bible.

In the Books of Chronicles there is also a second man by this name, from the city of Geder. In 1 Chronicles 27:28 he is described as being responsible to King David for the care of olive and sycamore trees.
