Oumare Tounkara (born 25 May 1990) is a French professional footballer who plays as a striker for US Créteil-Lusitanos' B-team.
Tounkara began his career at French club Sedan, before attracting transfer interest from Premier League club Sunderland. He signed for Sunderland in the summer of 2009. Tounkara had two loan spells at League One club Oldham Athletic, playing regularly during the 2010–11 season and also making eight appearances during shorter stay towards the latter stages of the 2011–12 season. He was released by Sunderland in May 2012, without making any first-team appearances.
He briefly returned to France to join Red Star of the Championnat National, but again did not make any appearances. In March 2013, Tounkara joined League Two club Bristol Rovers on a short-term deal, and was released upon the expiry of his contract in May that year. Shortly after, he signed for League One club Stevenage, where he was also loaned out to Grimsby Town. He returned to France in the summer of 2014 and joined JA Drancy for the 2014–15 season. After a successful spell at Drancy, he joined Châteauroux, helping the club to achieve promotion to Ligue 2 during the 2016–17 season. After four years at Châteauroux, Tounkara signed for Romanian club Astra Giurgiu in July 2019. He returned to France and signed for Lyon La Duchère in June 2020, spending a year there before joining Fleury.
