Hydrogen atom abstraction or hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) in chemistry is any chemical reaction in which a hydrogen free radical is abstracted from a substrate according to the general equation:

Examples of HAT reactions are oxidative reactions in general, hydrocarbon combustion and reactions involving cytochrome P450 containing an iron(V)-oxo unit.
