Denis Alibec (Dobrujan Tatar: Deñíz Alibek; born 5 January 1991) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Liga I club Farul Constanța and the Romania national team.
Alibec began his senior career at Farul Constanța, and at age 18 was signed by Italian club Inter Milan. He only made two Serie A appearances and was loaned out several times, before being brought back to Romania by Astra Giurgiu. He became a regular starter and goalscorer with the latter, and also aided it in winning its first national title in the 2015–16 season. This inspired a move to his former youth team FCSB in 2017, but Alibec transferred back to Astra after only one and a half years. Since 2020, in addition to Romania he has had brief stints in Turkey, Greece, and Qatar.
Internationally, Alibec featured for Romania at under-17, under-19, and under-21 levels, prior to earning his full debut in a 3–0 win over the Faroe Islands in October 2015. He represented the country in two UEFA European Championships, in 2016 and 2024.
