August Christian Valdemar Hassel (9 February 1864 – 30 May 1942) was a Danish sculptor.
Hassel was born in Copenhagen, the son of captain and mechanic Johan Fridolin Hassel and Doris Henriette Eickhoff. He apprenticed under stucco artist and carver H.C.

Assistens Cemetery in Copenhagen, Denmark, is the burial site of many Danish notables as well as an important greenspace in the Nørrebro district.

Danish sculpture as a nationally recognized art form can be traced back to 1752 when Jacques Saly was commissioned to execute a statue of King Frederick V of Denmark on horseback. While Bertel Thorvaldsen was undoubtedly the country's most prominent contributor, many other players have produced fine work, especially in the areas of Neoclassicism, Realism, and in Historicism, the latter resulting from growing consciousness of a national identity. More recently, Danish sculpture has been inspired by European trends, especially those from Paris, including Surrealism and Modernism.
