Osahon "Macky" Eboigbe (born September 11, 1989) is a Nigerian professional football player. He is known as a pacy striker.

For the 2007-2008 season, Eboigbe was loaned from the Blackburn Rovers Youth Academy to Belgian first division side Cercle Brugge. The main reason for this move is because Eboigbe turns 18 very soon, and as a consequence he will be needing documents necessary to be eligible to play in English football as a non-EU player, documents he will not receive. In Belgium, these regulations in football are far less strict.

Dwight Wille, who was also in the Rovers' Youth Academy in 2006-07, stated that in his view, Osahon Eboigbe was one of the most promising players in the Blackburn Rovers U-19 team. Macky made his début for Cercle on December 8, 2007, against Exc. Mouscron. Cercle won the match 3-0.

Eboigbe will also be part of the Cercle Brugge squad for the 2008-09 season.

Osahon Eboigbe also has an older brother, Semi Eboigbe, who is a professional basketballer, currently playing for Lynn Fury.
