Jocelyn Angloma (born 7 August 1965) is a French football manager and former professional player who played as a defender. Born in Guadeloupe, he represented both the France and Guadeloupe national teams. He is the head coach of the Guadeloupe national team.

Angloma began his professional football career in France, and was a member of the Marseille team which won the 1992–93 UEFA Champions League. He played more than 400 games in European first divisions, including spells in Italy, and 120 appearances with Valencia in Spain, where he played until his retirement in 2002. He played in the UEFA Champions League Finals of 2000 and 2001 for the Spanish club, but was on the losing side on both occasions.

Angloma played 37 times for France between 1990 and 1996, scoring one goal. Angloma was part of the squad at Euro 92 and Euro 96.

As a native of Guadeloupe, Angloma was eligible to play for its national team, making his debut for them as a teenager in the mid-1980s, and being a member of the Guadeloupe team that participated in the 1985 CFU Championship, playing in the final match of the tournament against Suriname on 29 June 1985, aged 20, which ended in a 2–2 draw. It was not until 21 years later, in 2006, that Angloma played another match for Guadeloupe, which he helped qualify for the 2007 Caribbean Nations Cup. He was only allowed to represent them because Guadeloupe is not a FIFA member and only participates in regional competitions. After his return from retirement, Angloma moved from his natural position as a right-back and played as a midfield playmaker for Guadeloupe.

In total, Angloma played 14 matches for Guadeloupe in 2006 and 2007, scoring 4 goals, the last of which in a 2–1 win over Honduras on 17 June 2007, becoming, at the age of 41 years and 314 days, the second-oldest international goalscorer in world football, only behind Roger Milla, who had scored for Cameroon in 1994, at the age of 42.

In December 2017, he was appointed Guadeloupe's coach.

Jocelyn Angloma's son Johan plays in several youth teams of Guadeloupe and was a member of the Guadeloupe under-14 national football team at the Coupe National Under-14 2008.
