Saeed Ahmed Hatteea (born 2 February 1950) is an Indian former cricketer. He was a right-arm fast-medium bowler and a right-handed batsman.

Hatteea was born in Bombay, India. In 1962, he moved with his family to England, where he attended the City of London School.[1] Having played several matches for England schools and one Second XI Championship match for Warwickshire in 1969,[2] he was invited by India's chairman of selectors, Vijay Merchant, to play in India.[3] He made his first-class debut for Bombay against Saurashtra in the 1969–70 Ranji Trophy. He played three further first-class matches for Bombay that season,[4] and was expected by some to be named in the squad for national team's tour of the West Indies, but he was not selected.[3][5]

Hatteea returned to England for the 1970 season, where he played second XI cricket for Gloucestershire.[2] He also played for a Rest of the World XI against TN Pearce's XI in England that September. Back in India later in the year, he played two further matches for Bombay, and made a single appearance for West Zone against South Zone, in the 1970–71 Duleep Trophy semi-final.[4] In his 8 first-class matches, he took 27 wickets at a bowling average of 28.29. His only five wicket haul came against Gujarat for Bombay.[6]

Having returned to England, Hatteea played minor counties cricket for Oxfordshire, making 3 Minor Counties Championship appearances for the county in 1972.[7] It was for Oxfordshire that he made his only List A appearance against Durham in the Gillette Cup.[8] In this match he scored an unbeaten 6 runs. With the ball he took 4 wickets for the cost of 32 runs from 9.2 overs.[9] He later played club cricket for Chorleywood and The Hurlingham Club.[10]
