Thomas Setodji (born 13 October 1995) is a French tennis player of Togolese descent who is serving a ban from the sport for match-fixing. He has a career high ATP singles ranking of 794, achieved on 22 July 2024, and a highest doubles ranking of 786, achieved on 7 January 2019. He has won one ITF doubles title. Setodji represents Togo in the Davis Cup.[1]

In April 2025, he was banned from tennis for 10 years, fined $20,000 and ordered to pay 5,500 Euros in restitution after admitting fixing three matches in 2017 and failing to report a corrupt approach in 2018. The International Tennis Integrity Agency said the case was linked to a criminal investigation involving a match-fixing syndicate in Belgium whose leader had been sent to prison for five years in 2023. Setodji's suspension will end on 31 March 2035.[2][3][4]
