Laurent Mendy (born 26 March 1997) is a French professional footballer who plays as a centre-back or defensive midfielder for club Heart of Midlothian.
Career In March 2020, Mendy joined Swedish Division 2 (fourth tier) club IFK Åmål on a free transfer.
In 2021, Mendy signed for newly-formed North West Counties League Premier Division club Macclesfield, the phoenix team from the defunct Macclesfield Town.
On 2 July 2025, Mendy signed for National League side Forest Green Rovers, following former Macclesfield manager Robbie Savage to the club.
In January 2026 he was the subject of a failed transfer offer from Scottish Premiership club Heart of Midlothian. In July 2026, Forest Green accepted a bid of £500,000 from Hearts for Mendy, potentially rising to a club record fee of £1 million. The transfer was confirmed on 24 July, and Mendy signed a three-year contract with Hearts. He made his debut just over a week later, starting and playing 75 minutes as a central midfielder in a 2–1 loss away to Aberdeen. On 3 September, he scored his first goal for Hearts in a 1–3 Edinburgh Derby win away at Easter Road.
