Heikki Vihtori Hasu (born March 21, 1926) is a retired Finnish Nordic skier.
He was born in Sippola.
He won two medals in nordic combined at the Winter Olympics (1948: gold, 1952: silver) and another gold medal in the 4 x 10 km at the 1952 Winter Olympics in Oslo.
Hasu also won two medals at the 1950 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Lake Placid, New York with a gold in the Nordic combined and a silver in the 4 x 10 km.
He won the Nordic combined event at the Holmenkollen ski festival in 1953. For his Nordic combined and cross country skiing successes, Hasu became the first Finn to be awarded the Holmenkollen medal in 1952 (shared with Stein Eriksen, Torbjørn Falkanger, and Nils Karlsson.). He is also the last Holmenkollen medalist to win in more than one nordic skiing discipline.
