Jimmy Boubou Kébé (born 19 January 1984 in Vitry-sur-Seine) is a France-born Malian football winger. He currently plays for Reading.

On 16 January 2008, Kébé agreed to join Reading, but his then club US Bolougne initially refused to let him end his season-long loan early.^[1] On 28 January 2008, Reading announced that Kébé had signed a 2½ year contract with them, moving for an undisclosed fee.^[2] He made his debut for Reading as a substitute, coming on for John Oster late into a 1-0 away defeat to Everton on 9 February 2008.^[3]

He was part of the Mali team in the 2004 Summer Olympics, which exited in the quarter finals, finishing top of group A, but losing to Italy in the next round.
