Denis Jean Hamel (born May 10, 1977) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey left winger who last played semi-professionally in the LNAH.

After a serious knee injury in 2000, Hamel's skating speed was diminished and his ability to contribute in the NHL was limited.

He was known as a fan favorite with the Binghamton Senators, and is known for his contributions to the community, for which he won the 2008 AHL Man of the Year award.

During the 2000–01 season, he suffered a serious knee injury which limited his play to 41 games and affected his skating speed.

After playing three games for Atlanta, he was placed on waivers and claimed by the Philadelphia Flyers on February 27, 2007, where he finished the season.
