Alen Marcina ([martʃina], born July 30, 1979) is a Canadian soccer coach and former player. He is a three-time champion with San Antonio Scorpions and Rayo OKC in the NASL.
Marcina played college soccer with Barry University, and with New Westminster Khalsa in the Pacific Coast Soccer League, before joining the Ottawa Wizards for the 2002-03 CPSL season, where he scored 9 goals in just 10 matches. When the Wizards had their license revoked by the CPSL, Marcina tried his luck in Europe and managed to land a contract with Greek giants and UEFA Cup Participants PAOK Thessaloniki in January 2004. The next years saw him play with ÍA Akranes of Iceland, Schweinfurt of Germany and Herfølge Boldklub of Denmark.
Marcina signed with the Puerto Rico Islanders for the 2006 season of the second tier league of American soccer, the USL First Division, which is a level below Major League Soccer. He scored 13 goals in 27 appearances for the Islanders earning All-League selection before moving to the New Zealand Knights in November 2006. He netted his first goal for the Knights against the Newcastle Jets and also scored in the 3-1 win over the Queensland Roar.
