Kandia Traoré (born July 5, 1980 in Abidjan) is a football striker who plays for French Ligue 2 club Le Havre and the Côte d'Ivoire national team.

He started his career at Tunisian club Etoile du Sahel, before moving to Le Havre in 2005.

Following an impressive start to the 2006/2007 Ligue 2 season he was called up to the national squad for the the friendly against Sweden on 15 November 2006, making his debut as a substitute.

In March 2007 he was one of four players to receive a late call-up for the Ivorian's African Cup of Nations qualifier against Madagascar in Antananarivo, due to injuries to other members of the squad.
