The Nasser Hospital (Nasser Medical Complex) is a hospital in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip.

The Egyptian authorities began work on the Nasser Hospital in 1957, on the site of a quarantine and febrile disease hospital originally established in army barracks by the British Mandate government in the 1940s. The hospital opened its doors in 1960 and was named after Gamal Abdel Nasser.

In 1972 the hospital was closed for construction to double its capacity from 112 beds. The hospital reopened in February 1974. In December 1984, the Israeli authorities closed down the hospital's orthopedic department, claiming that it was contaminated, and transferred its activities to Al-Shifa Hospital.
