The Al-Hassan camp (sometimes 'Prince Hassan Camp') is a Palestinian refugee camp located some 5 Km from the center of Amman, the capital of Jordan. Administratively it lies in the Amman (Capital) Governorate.[1][2][3][4][1]

It was established in 1967, and a 2021 population estimate indicated that 9,408 people lived there,[5] although a previous estimate (in 2018) had set the number at 14,068.[1]

Palestinian refugee camps are distributed in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan across six governorates, amongst which the Capital governorate and Madaba governorate include Al-Wehdat refugee camp, Jabal el-Hussein camp, Prince Hassan, Talbieh Camp and Madaba camp.[6]

Visitors have expressed misgivings about the camp.[7]
