Aly Wagner (born August 10, 1980 in San Jose, California) is a midfielder for the United States Women's National Soccer Team. She began playing with the U.S. Women's National Team in 1998, while still a freshman at Santa Clara University. In 2001, she lead Santa Clara to the NCAA Women's Soccer Championship, scoring the only goal in Santa Clara's 1-0 victory over perennial powerhouse North Carolina. She was awarded the Today's Top VIII Award as a member of the Class of 2002.

She was the first player selected in the Women's United Soccer Association's 2003 draft, with the San Diego Spirit trading three players for the rights to draft her. At the conclusion of the 2003 season, she was traded to the Boston Breakers, shortly before the WUSA suspended operations. She finally got the opportunity to play for the Breakers in a June 19, 2004 exhibition match against the Washington Freedom in Blaine, Minnesota, as part of a coordinated effort to maintain public interest in the WUSA.

On July 30, 2006, she became the 18th United States Women's National Team player to reach the mark of 100 caps in a friendly match against Canada; as of October 20, 2007, her total stands at 117.
