Bruno Ecuele Manga (born 16 July 1988 in Libreville) is a Gabonese footballer currently under contract for French side FC Lorient.

Manga began his career in his homeland at FC 105 Libreville, before being spotted by scouts from French Ligue 1 side Girondins Bordeaux. He never played a league game for the club, and spent time on loan at Rodez AF.

At the end of his contract he was signed on a free contract with Angers SCO, and became an integral part of their defence set up.

In 2010 he joined FC Lorient, and became a first team regular in Ligue 1 as a replacement for Laurent Koscielny who left Lorient for Arsenal.
