Mohammed Abusaban (; born 20 January 1990) is a professional footballer from Saudi Arabia who operates primarily as a central midfielder.

Career

Abusaban's football journey started within the youth ranks of Hajer before he transferred to Al-Ittihad on 4 July 2007. He was elevated to Al-Ittihad's senior squad in 2010 and made his first-team debut against Al-Shabab on 11 May 2011. By the 2011–12 campaign, he had established himself as a consistent starter. In January 2012, he faced a SAR10,000 fine and a four-match ban due to an incident during the Crown Prince Cup semi-finals. Subsequently, in April 2012, he was suspended for two matches following an on-pitch confrontation. On 7 May 2012, Abusaban renewed his contract with Al-Ittihad, extending his stay until 2017.

On 22 June 2016, Abusaban inked a two-year contract with Al-Fateh but departed midway through the season after making eleven appearances. He then moved on loan to Al-Taawoun on 31 January 2017 for six months. Later, on 19 July 2017, he signed a two-year agreement with Al-Faisaly. He marked his debut by scoring against Al-Raed on 17 August 2017 and concluded that season with twenty-eight appearances and six goals. His impressive form earned him a call-up to the Saudi national team for a friendly match versus Iraq. Unfortunately, injuries restricted him to only twelve appearances in his following season. After his contract ended, he joined newly promoted Damac FC, where he featured thirteen times and netted two goals.

Abusaban returned to Al-Taawoun on a permanent basis on 25 January 2020, agreeing to a two-and-a-half-year deal. On 30 January 2022, he transferred to Al-Fayha. Most recently, on 7 September 2023, he committed to a one-year contract with Al-Hazem.
