Rogen Siaga Ladon[4] (born November 10, 1993) is a Filipino retired amateur boxer. He first took up boxing in 2007,[1] and won medals in international tournaments such as the Asian Amateur Boxing Championships and Southeast Asian Games as well as in smaller tournaments such as the 2012 Taipei City Cup and 2011 Hong Kong International Tournament.[1]

Locally, Ladon has won at the Filipino National Open Junior Championships at the 46 kg category winning a bronze at the 2008 edition and a gold at the 2009 edition. He won a gold medal at the 2013 Philippine National Games in the 49 kg category.[1] Ladon was the sparring partner of Mark Anthony Barriga for the 2012 Olympics. He replaced an injured Barriga at the 2013 Asian Championships. His brother Joegin Ladon is also an international boxer.[3]

Ladon qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics after finishing second at the Asia & Oceania Olympic qualifiers.[5] He also previously attempted to qualify by winning at least a silver at the 2015 AIBA World Boxing Championships but only managed to gain a bronze medal.[6]

Ladon announced his retirement on August 20, 2024 and is looking to transition to coaching.[7]
