Denis Alibec (born 5 January 1991) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays for Steaua București and the Romania national team mainly as a striker.

Alibec began his football career in Romania playing for youth clubs Callatis Mangalia, Steaua București and Farul Constanța, making his professional debut with the latter. In 2009, aged 18, he moved to Italy with the academy of Internazionale. After several loans, Alibec returned to Romania to sign with Astra Giurgiu. He became a regular starter and goalscorer, aiding Astra win its first ever national title before rejoining Steaua București in 2017.

Alibec is a full international for Romania since October 2015, and played at the UEFA Euro 2016. He had previously represented the country's under-17, under-19 and under-21 teams.

At the age of ten, after only playing ball on the beaches of native Mangalia, Alibec chose to focus entirely on football and joined Callatis Mangalia's youth setup. He had a brief spell with Steaua București's juniors, before making his senior debut on 27 September 2008 with Farul Constanța where he scored 2 goals in 18 Liga I matches.

In July 2009, it was announced that Alibec signed a four-year contract with Italian club Inter Milan, going on to play for its Pimavera team.
