Bassel Zakaria Jradi (Arabic: باسل زكريا جرادي, Lebanese Arabic pronunciation:[ˈbeːsilzakaˈrijjaˈʒraːdi,-de]; born 6 July 1993) is a professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Thai League 1 club Bangkok United and the Lebanon national team.
After playing for three years in Denmark – for B.93, AB, and Nordsjælland – Jradi moved to Norway in 2014, signing for Strømsgodset. Following a loan spell with Lillestrøm, he scored 10 goals and assisted seven upon his return to Strømsgodset in 2017; he was nominated for the "People's favourite player" award at the 2017 Fotballfesten [it]. In 2018, after four years in Norway, Jradi moved to Croatian side Hajduk Split, then to Apollon Limassol in Cyprus in 2021, helping them lift the 2021–22 league title. In 2023, Jradi joined Bangkok United in Thailand.
Born in Denmark to Lebanese parents, Jradi played for Denmark internationally at youth level before switching allegiance to Lebanon in 2015. He represented Lebanon at the 2019 AFC Asian Cup.
