Makhtar Vincent N'Diaye (born December 12, 1973) is a Senegalese former basketball player who played as a power forward and center. He played for the Vancouver Grizzlies in 1999 to became the first player from Senegal to join and play in the National Basketball Association.

Born in Diourbel, N'Diaye came to the United States to play high school basketball at Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Virginia. He was recruited to play at Wake Forest by Coach Dave Odom, but was ruled ineligible to play by the National Collegiate Athletic Association because of recruiting violation and transferred to Michigan. After two seasons there, he transferred again to North Carolina. After sitting out one season, N'Diaye played under coaches Dean Smith and Bill Guthridge, making the NCAA Tournament Final Four in 1997 and 1998. After he went unselected in the 1998 NBA Draft, he signed as a free agent with the Grizzlies.

He played 4 games for Vancouver in the 1998-99 NBA season before he was traded to the Orlando Magic, who released him before the 1999-2000 season. He continued his career in Europe, mostly in the French league, save for a season-long stint with the North Charleston Lowgators of the NBA Development League in 2001–02.

He represented Senegal at the FIBA World Championship in 1998 and 2006, and played on the team that won the FIBA Africa Championship in 1997.

He is currently a sports agent for the Wasserman Media Group.
