Alen Hadzic (Alen Hadžić; born November 15, 1991) is an American former épée fencer. In 2023, he was ranked 361st in the world in men's épée.
In 2013, Hadzic was suspended by Columbia University for one year due to a sexual assault allegation. In June 2021, three women accused Hadzic of committing sexual misconduct against them. In the summer of 2021 he traveled to the Tokyo Olympics as an alternate on the men's épée team, but did not compete. By July 2022, at least six women had filed claims of sexual misconduct against Hadzic with SafeSport. In June 2023, after an investigation of over two years, Hadzic was permanently banned by SafeSport from participating in any activity of or under the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee. The decision was upheld on appeal in December 2023.
