Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is a professional footballer who plays as a striker for Ligue 1 club Marseille and the Gabon national team.

Aubameyang began his senior club career by signing for AC Milan in Italy, but never made an appearance for the club, instead going on a series of loan spells in France. He transferred to Saint-Étienne in 2011. There he won a Coupe de la Ligue title, subsequently joining Borussia Dortmund in 2013. In Germany, Aubameyang finished as the league's top goalscorer in the 2016–17 season and won a DFB-Pokal. He also ranks as the club's eighth-highest all-time goalscorer. In 2018, Aubameyang was the subject of a then–club record association football transfer when he signed for Arsenal in a move worth £56 million (€60 million), making him the most expensive Gabonese player of all time. With Arsenal, he won an FA Cup and finished as the league's joint-top goalscorer in the 2018–19 season. After leaving Arsenal in 2022, Aubameyang had spells with Barcelona and Chelsea before signing for Marseille in 2023. In 2024, he joined Al-Qadsiah in the Saudi Pro League, where he spent a single season, returning to Marseille the next summer.

Born in France, Aubameyang chose to represent Gabon at international level, making his senior debut in 2009 at the age of 19; with 35 goals, he is the nation's all-time top scorer. He represented Gabon at four Africa Cup of Nations tournaments and the 2012 Summer Olympics. In 2015, he was named African Footballer of the Year; the first Gabonese and second European-born player to win the award.
