Alen Stevanović (Serbian Cyrillic: Ален Стевановић; born 7 January 1991) is a Swiss-born Serbian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for SuperLiga club Partizan. A product of the Radnički Obrenovac youth academy, Stevanović made name for himself while playing for Torino.
He made his debut with the Serbian national team in 2012.
Stevanović's parents separated shortly after his birth in Zürich and he never met his biological father. Immediately after the separation, when Alen was only three months old, his mother brought him to Bečmen, SR Serbia to live with his grandmother and uncle while she returned to Switzerland. He could not reach his mother in Zurich as he was not granted a visa and could only see her once a year. His grandfather, who had worked both in Switzerland and had returned to Belgrade, died a year later at the age of 58 years. Until 2004-2005, as stated by himself, he was angry with life and this hindered the beginning of his playing career. He married Dunja on 20 November 2013 and became the father of his first child Neva.
Stevanović started his professional career in Serbia at FK Radnički Obrenovac. In early 2009, a trial was arranged for him at Italian champions Internazionale, and after arriving in Milan on 9 January, Stevanović was signed by the club in February.
In November 2009, Stevanović, along with youngster Giulio Donati, was named to the match-day squad against Livorno in Coppa Italia, but remained an unused sub.
