Thomas 'Tommy' N'Kono (born 20 July 1956) is a Cameroonian retired footballer.
Arguably the greatest goalkeeper Africa ever produced, he was mainly associated with Espanyol, whom he represented for almost a decade appearing in more than 300 official matches.
N'Kono appeared for the Cameroon national team in three World Cups, and four Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.
N'Kono was born in Dizangue. After playing in his country with Canon Yaoundé and Tonnerre Yaoundé he moved to Spain with RCD Español in 1982, after solid performances in the FIFA World Cup played in that country; he received the France Football African Footballer of the Year award in that year, and also in 1979.
N'Kono hardly ever missed a game while with the Catalans, going on to amass more than 300 competitive appearances. In the 1988–89 season, however, he was not able to help prevent the club's La Liga relegation, and was eventually replaced by Vicente Biurrun.
