Noureddine Naybet (Arabic: نور الدين نبيت) (born February 10, 1970) is a Moroccan international football player and captain. He is a defender.

Naybet has earned 115 caps with the Moroccan national team and scored 2 goals.

He was signed by Tottenham Hotspur on August 13th - and made his English Premiership debut 24 hours later.

Although a regular in the Tottenham first team in 2004 - 2005, he was a reserve player under new boss Martin Jol, making only one appearance in 2005-2006 against Charlton Athletic at the Valley . The influence brought by his vast experience is widely regarded as one of the factors behind the excellent partnership of Ledley King and Michael Dawson in the heart of the Spurs defence.

In January 2006, Naybet appeared for Morocco in the 2006 African Cup of Nations. He remains a popular and respected player at both club and international levels.

He was released from Tottenham Hotspur on May 26th 2006.
