Ibrahima Gueye (born on February 19, 1978 in Dakar, Senegal) is a Senegalese football player who currently plays for Red Star Belgrade as a central defender.

Gueye started his professional playing career at the age of 21 with Dakar UC in his native Senegal before joining another Senegalese club, AS Douanes. During the summer of 2001, he made his first step into European football as he signed a contract with Bulgarian record title holder CSKA Sofia. He very quickly established himself as one of the most important players of the club and a fans' favourite. Gueye won two national titles during his spell at CSKA Sofia, in 2003 and 2005.

Ibrahima Gueye was later transferred to Turkish Second Division side Samsunspor in February 2006, only to sign with Serbian giants Red Star six months later.

Once again, Gueye successfully became an integral part of the team and now leads Red Star's defensive lineup.[1]

Gueye is married to a Bulgarian wife and has dual Bulgarian and Senegal citizenship.[2]
