Alce Nero (Heȟáka Sápa in lakota, Black Elk in inglese) (Little Powder River, 1º dicembre 1863 – , 19 agosto 1950) è stato un uomo di medicina (wicʿaša wakan o pʿejúta wicʿaša) e guida spirituale presso gli Oglala, una tribù della famiglia Lakota-Sioux, convertito al cattolicesimo verso il 1904. In realtà Heȟáka Sápa significa "Wapiti Nero" in Lingua lakota Hehaka. Elk, in inglese americano, indica una tipologia di cervo, il wapiti, e non l'alce.
