Frédéric Vinami Henri Gounongbe (born 1 May 1988) is a former professional footballer who played as a centre forward.
A latecomer to professional football, he rose to prominence during a spell with Belgian Third Division side Woluwe-Zaventem, scoring 19 times in the 2011–12 season. His form attracted the attention of Belgian Pro League side Zulte Waregem and he joined the club on a two-year deal. However, he never appeared for the first team and after spending the 2012—13 season on loan at the club, he joined RWDM Brussels on a permanent deal.
In 2014, he returned to the Pro League with Westerlo where he spent two seasons. Born in Belgium, Gounongbe chose to represent Benin at international level, making his debut in 2014.
