Halid Djankpata (born 13 April 2005) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Serie C Group C club Barletta. Born in Togo, he represented Italy internationally at the youth level, before switching allegiance back to Togo for the senior team.
Djankpata was born in 2005 in Togo to Beninese parents from Bassila, Benin, before moving to Italy with his family in 2006.
As a youth player, Djankpata joined the youth academy of English Premier League side Everton after trialing with the youth academy of English side Manchester City.
On 30 August 2024, he signed a 3-years deal for Italian Serie B club Spezia.
On 26 August 2025, Djankpata was loaned by Serie C club Gubbio.
Born in Togo, the midfielder received offers from both the Togo and Benin national teams, rejecting both in order to remain eligible for Italy. He received his first call-up to the Azzurri's Under-19 friendly with Austria on 14 February 2024.
In March 2026, Djankpata was called up to the Togo national team for a friendly against Niger, but remained on the bench on that occasion.
Djankpata mainly operates as a central midfielder.
Djankpata is the son of Awaly Djankpata and Karamatou Gbadamassi.
