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 4×400 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 4 × 400 m 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.
