Martin Djetou, (born December 15, 1974 in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire), is a former Ivorian-French football player. His clubs included Strasbourg, Monaco, Parma, Fulham, Nice and Bolton Wanderers.

Prior to his brief spell at Bolton, his only other experience in English football came by the way of a two year loan spell at Fulham where he amassed over half a century of appearances but a permanent deal could not be agreed with Italian club A.C. Parma.

The Côte d'Ivoire-born Djetou has won full international honours with France, the country he grew up in, and has also played for French clubs Monaco, Nice, Strasbourg and FC Istres-Ville-Nouvelle. After his spell with Bolton, he moved back to France, joining up with Istres. However, after some sluggish performances, he was released from his contract in 2006.

In November 2006 he was awarded a trial at English club Leeds United but was not offered a permanent deal.

In 2007, he stopped his professional career, started to play for SC Schiltigheim (amateur) and opened a beauty parlour in the town of Illkirch (Espace Djétou).
