Zemgus Girgensons (born 5 January 1994) is a Latvian professional ice hockey centre and alternate captain for the Buffalo Sabres of the National Hockey League (NHL).
In 2009, Girgensons moved to North America and played in the Eastern Junior Hockey League (EJHL) for the Green Mountain Glades.
The next season, he moved to the United States Hockey League (USHL) and played for the Dubuque Fighting Saints.
In the previous year, Girgensons was selected in the second round, 28th overall, in the 2011 KHL Junior Draft by CSKA Moscow.
In 2011, he became a USHL champion with the Fighting Saints, and he also participated in the USHL All-Star Game.
In the 2011–12 season, his last as a junior, Girgensons was named as the captain of the Fighting Saints.
Girgensons entered his draft eligibility year as a projected first-round draft pick.
Nicknamed "the Latvian Locomotive", he was selected 14th overall in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft by the Sabres.
The Sabres had already used their own first-round pick, selecting Mikhail Grigorenko 12th overall, but traded a first-round (21st overall) pick (from Nashville), which Calgary used to select Mark Jankowski, and a second-round (42nd overall) pick, to move up seven spots to draft Girgensons.
Before attending the Sabres' prospects' summer camp, Girgensons had committed to going to the University of Vermont Catamounts of the NCAA; however, he signed a professional contract with the Sabres on 13 July 2012, which forfeited his NCAA eligibility.
Girgensons began the 2012–13 season in the American Hockey League (AHL) with the Rochester Americans.
Girgensons participated at the 2012 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships as a member of the Latvian junior team and at the 2010 IIHF World U18 Championships.
He had a slow start to the season and, at the beginning of 2013, he suffered an injury from a late hit by Richard Pánik of the Syracuse Crunch.
However, he finished the season strongly, scoring three goals in the Americans' first-round defeat in the Calder Cup playoffs.
After scoring three goals and adding one assist in five preseason games, Girgensons began the 2013–14 season in the NHL with the Sabres.
He scored his first career NHL goal in the Sabres' season opener against Jimmy Howard of the Detroit Red Wings on 2 October 2013.
He made his senior national team debut in 2013 World Championships against the United States and scored his first international goal against Slovakia.

On 8 October 2020, Girgensons opted to forgo free agency and signed a three-year, $6.6 million contract extension with the Sabres.
On 4 January 2021, a day before his 27th birthday, Girgensons sustained a lower-body injury during a training camp scrimmage ahead of the 2020–21 NHL season and had to be helped off the ice.
It was revealed on January 6 that he suffered a hamstring injury and had undergone successful surgery to correct it.
It effectively ruled him out for the season.
Prior to the start of the 2021–22 season, the Sabres named Girgensons one of two alternate captains, along with Kyle Okposo, as Jack Eichel was stripped of the captaincy prior to the season due to injury.
On 20 June 2023, he signed a one-year contract with the Sabres.
