Hertel of Hasä (Myrish: Hertel av Hasä; c. 1208—1272), born as Hertel Vool but known more commonly by the  Hertel, was a Myrish merchant, explorer, and writer from the Kingdom of Pärhula who traveled throughout East Alutra, the Abayadi, Kasare, Skephon, and Harad along parts of the Pan-Alutran Trade Route from 1229 to 1255. He is the author of The Marvelous Travels of Hertel, c. 1330, which documents his exploration in detail from beginning to end. His writings allowed for the spread of knowledge amongst Eastern Alutrans of the culture, landscapes, and traditions of the Abayadi, Harad, Kasare, and other similarly foreign places, including the grand and wealthy Haksars and several of their tributary territories, the Alerans, Asidama, and more.
