Jean-Marc Adjovi-Bocco (born 22 December 1963) is a Beninese former professional footballer who played as a defender.[1][2][3] Bocco captained the Benin national football team, until he retired from international football in the summer of 1997.

In a 2020 interview, Bocco reflected upon his time at Hibernian, saying that he would love to have played for another season in Scotland, but left to make room for younger players following the dismissal of manager Jim Duffy.[4]
