Iván Daniel Alonso Vallejo (born 10 April 1979) is an Uruguayan professional footballer who plays for Club Atlético River Plate in Argentina as a striker.

Gifted with an excellent aerial ability he is most noted for his Alavés stint, and spent the bulk of his professional career in Spain, playing for three teams and appearing in seven La Liga seasons, three each with Alavés and Espanyol.

Born in Montevideo, Alonso started his professional career with local Club Atlético River Plate. After two seasons he moved to Spain's Deportivo Alavés, scoring eight league goals – often as a substitute – during his first season while also being an important offensive element in the Basque side's UEFA Cup exploits, as he netted in the final against Liverpool, lost 4–5 in extra time; during that season, he made a formidable partnership with Javi Moreno (later of A.C. Milan).

After playing 2003–04 in the second level, Alonso stayed in the category, moving to Real Murcia and scoring 11 goals in his debut campaign. An undisputed starter from his arrival onwards, he added 14 in 40 matches in 2006–07 as the club returned to La Liga after a three-year absence.
