Jeanvion Yulu-Matondo (born January 5, 1986) is a Belgian footballer with Congolese roots currently playing at Roda JC.

Yulu-Matondo started his career at the small team of R. Ans F.C. but was discovered by Jupiler League team R.E. Mouscron where he joined the youth team. He developed further with his current club Club Brugge, where he has successfully managed the step from the youth team to the first team. He gained some international fame when he scored for Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League against Juventus. In Belgium, he is most known for his speed, skill on the ball and dribbles. In the summer of 2007, he moved from Club Brugge to Roda JC, as he feared of not getting enough play time in the upcoming season as his team had bought strikers François Sterchele and Dušan Đokić. With also Salou Ibrahim still in front of him in the pecking order, he decided it was time to leave.
