Hamed Modibo Diallo (born December 18, 1976) is an Ivorian former professional footballer who played as a forward.

Born in Zahia, Ivory Coast, Diallo began his career in France, initially in the youth academy of Le Havre, and later playing for Laval, Amiens, Angers, as well as with Al Rayyan in Qatar, Hammarby in Sweden, Turris in Italy, and Excelsior Virton in Belgium.

During the 2007 season with Rochester, Diallo was a regular starter up front along with English-born striker Matthew Delicate; however, during 2008 Diallo gradually became a less frequent member of new coach Darren Tilley's squad, and had only eventually logged 474 minutes of playing time in 13 USL matches during the 2008 season.

On March 8, 2010, the Real Maryland Monarchs announced the signing of Diallo to a contract for the 2010 season.
