In this paperwe present a fixed point property for amenable hypergroups that is analogous to Rickert’s fixed point theorem for semigroups. It equates the existence of a left invariant mean on the space of weakly right uniformly continuous functions to the existence of a fixed point for any action of the hypergroup. Using this fixed point property, certain hypergroups are shown to have a left Haar measure.
