Vignon Mathieu Patrick Ouotro (born 13 September 2005), known as Patrick Ouotro, is an Ivorian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Portuguese Primeira Liga club Vitória de Guimarães.

Club career

Ouotro made his Ivorian Ligue 1 debuts with LYS Sassandra in the 2022–23 season. At the age of 17, he finished as the joint-fourth top scorer with nine goals, and was described as the "revelation" of the league. He was elected Player of the Month in November 2022 and Young Player of the Season at the end of the campaign.

On 12 January 2024, Ouotro signed for French Ligue 1 club Strasbourg until June 2028, initially joining the club's academy. After playing for the reserves, he was called up for a first team training session for the first time in March 2024. On 19 May 2024, Ouotro made his Ligue 1 debut as a substitute in a match against Lyon. On 15 August 2024, he was loaned out to Ligue 2 club Martigues for the 2024–25 season. The loan was terminated in early January 2025.

On 3 February 2025, Ouotro moved on a new loan to Seraing in Belgian second-tier Challenger Pro League. On 16 July 2025, he signed for newly-promoted Ligue 2 club Nancy on a four-year contract.

On 28 July 2026, Ouotro joined Vitória de Guimarães in the Portuguese top tier and signed a four-year contract.

International career

Ouotro participated in the 2022 African Nations Championship, scoring one goal in four appearances as Ivory Coast was knocked out in the quarter-finals. At the 2024 Maurice Revello Tournament, Ouotro led the Ivory Coast U20s to second place, contributing four goals including two in the final against the Ukraine U23s. He earned the distinctions of final MVP, third best player in the competition, and a spot in the team of the tournament.
