Drozena Eden (26 November 1908 – 27 November 1973) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Port Adelaide in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL). He was the third Indigenous player to play for Port Adelaide after his brother John the year prior, and Harry Hewitt in his single game for the club in 1891. His career was cut short due to persistent leg and back injuries.
Drozena impressed in some Port Adelaide trial games in 1929 playing in the centre for the matches, with The Advertiser describing his playing style as "outstanding".
Drozena was elected practice captain for the 1935 season.
Drozena enlisted for military service on 2 July 1940.
