Robert Philip Hanssen (April 18, 1944 – June 5, 2023) was a former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent who spied for the Soviet Union and Russia between 1979 to 2001.

He sold the Soviets and Russians many secrets, such as the names of Soviets secretly working for the U.S., American nuclear strategies, and technology. The Department of Justice called his spying "possibly the worst intelligence disaster in U.S. history".^[1]
