Insiden Roswell (bahasa Inggris: Roswell Incident) adalah sebuah teori konspirasi UFO yang menyatakan bahwa jatuhnya balon cuaca milik Angkatan Udara Amerika Serikat pada tahun 1947 di dekat Roswell, New Mexico sebenarnya disebabkan oleh "wahana antariksa milik mahkluk luar angkasa". Dioperasikan dari Pangkalan Udara Angkatan Darat Alamogordo di dekatnya dan merupakan bagian dari Proyek Mogul yang sangat rahasia, balon tersebut dimaksudkan untuk mendeteksi uji coba nuklir yang dilakukan oleh Soviet. [1]
Setelah puing-puing logam dan karet ditemukan oleh personel Pangkalan Udara Angkatan Darat Roswell, Angkatan Darat Amerika Serikat menyatakan bahwa itu bisa saja "piring terbang" yang di salahartikan karena balon Proyek Mogul membawa benda-benda yang tidak biasa, yaitu neoprene, lembaran logam tipis, dan kayu balsa. Berita ini menjadi berita utama internasional tetapi ditarik kembali dalam waktu satu hari. Dengan mengaburkan tujuan dan sumber sebenarnya dari "balon cuaca" yang jatuh, Angkatan Darat kemudian menyatakan bahwa itu adalah balon cuaca konvensional.

Pada tahun 1978, pensiunan perwira Angkatan Udara Jesse Marcel mengungkapkan bahwa klaim balon cuaca Angkatan Darat adalah cerita yang dibuat-buat, tetapi berspekulasi bahwa puing-puing itu berasal dari luar angkasa. Dipopulerkan oleh buku The Roswell Incident tahun 1980, spekulasi ini menjadi dasar bagi teori konspirasi UFO yang bertahan lama dan semakin kompleks dan kontradiktif, yang seiring waktu memperluas insiden tersebut hingga mencakup pemerintah yang menyembunyikan bukti keberadaan makhluk luar angkasa, alien, beberapa piring terbang yang jatuh, mayat dan autopsi alien, dan rekayasa balik teknologi luar angkasa, yang tidak satu pun memiliki dasar fakta.
Pada tahun 1990-an, Angkatan Udara Amerika Serikat menerbitkanmenyatakan beberapa bahwa laporan insiden yang itu ada kaitannya dengan Proyek Mogul sebagai dan tidak berkaitan dengan UFO atau Alien. Mogul adalah program balon rahasia yang memata-matai uji coba nuklir milik Soviet. Meskipun demikian dan kurangnya bukti, banyak pendukung UFO mengklaim bahwa puing-puing Roswell berasal dari pesawat alien, dan menuduh pemerintah AS menutup-nutupinya. Narasi konspirasi telah menjadi kiasan dalam literatur fiksi ilmiah, film, dan televisi. Kota Roswell memanfaatkan hal ini untuk mempromosikan dirinya sebagai tujuan wisata yang terkait dengan UFO.
