Fodé Sissoko (born 9 October 1996) is a Malian sprinter competing primarily in the 200 metres. He competed in the 200 metres at the 2020 Summer Olympics. He also competed in the same event at the 2019 World Athletics Championships.
He currently resides in Lille, France. In an interview, he explained his reasoning behind the move. He said the political conditions in Mali weren't conducive to him reaching the top level, thus moving to France would allow him to reach a new level. However, he continues to compete on behalf of Mali while living outside his homeland.
