Fidelis Gadzama (born October 20, 1979) is a Nigerian athlete and Olympic medalist.
Gadzama was a part of the Nigerian team that received a silver medal in the 4 x 400 metres relay at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney.
The Nigerian team finished second behind the US team, which has later been formally disqualified from the 4x400 meters relay event at the 2000 Olympics by the International Olympic Committee, due to one of the team members' use of illegal performance-enhancing drugs while competing in Sydney.
On 21 July 2012, the 2000 Olympics 4x400m relay medals were reallocated after the USA team was stripped of the gold medal, meaning Gadzama and Nigeria are the gold medalists.
In May 2014, he was elected as a Labour councillor for the Cannon Hill ward in the London Borough of Merton.
