Boubacar Sanogo (born December 17, 1982 in Dimbokro) is an Ivorian football player. Starting his career in Tunisia, he went to Al-Ain in UAE, where he became well-known winning the Asian Cup and being a top goalscorer in the UAE League. An attacker, he played for FC Kaiserslautern during the 2005/06 season, scoring 10 goals in 24 games, a performance that caught the attention of high level German clubs. Then he was transferred to Hamburger SV in the summer of 2006.

Being from the North of Ivory Coast (as opposed to most of nowadays Ivory Coast National Team partners), Bouba never had a really good chance in the Ivory Coast National Team, but, as with his fellow partners (Abdulkader Keita, Aruna Dindane,...), he should become a major asset of the National Team in the years to come.

Playing for Al Ain FC of UAE, he helped win the AFC Champions League in 2003.
