Sadok Sassi (Arabic: صدوق ساسي‎), often called Attouga (born 15 November 1945) is a former Tunisian footballer. He was a goalkeeper and played mostly for Club Africain, as well as the Tunisian national team. Their undisputed first-choice goalkeeper for many years, he missed Tunisia's first World Cup appearance in 1978 through injury, and was replaced by Mokhtar Naili. The Fédération Tunisienne de Football claims that he got 110 caps, whereas he is credited with 90 elsewhere. He was awarded the African Football’s Silver Order of Merit by CAF.

After retiring he has worked as a General Manager for Club Africain.
