Etzaz Muzafar Hussain (Urdu: اعتزاز مظفر حسین; born 27 January 1993) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Eliteserien club Odd. With 295 total appearances, four Eliteserien league and three Norwegian Cup titles with Molde, he is one of the most successful footballers for Molde, where he is the joint most decorated player with seven trophies along with Daniel Berg Hestad.

Born in Oslo, he played for nearby Langhus as a youth player, before moving to Manchester United in 2009. After two years in England, he returned to Norway with Vålerenga, but shortly after moved to Fredrikstad, where he made his professional debut. Hussain transferred to Molde in mid-2012 and won the Tippeligaen in his first season at the club. After winning four league titles and three Norwegian Cups with Molde across two spells, he moved to Apollon Limassol as a free agent in January 2023.
