Moustapha Salifou (born 1 June 1983) is a Togolese professional footballer who plays mostly as a midfielder for German Bayernliga club Türkspor Augsburg.

On 31 August 2007, Salifou signed a one-year deal with Aston Villa, joining for a nominal fee after a successful trial.

Despite not having played a game, his name was chanted loudly to the tune of the Boney M. song Daddy Cool by the Holte End.

On 6 November 2008, Martin O'Neill decided to change his starting eleven for Villa's UEFA Cup match against Slavia Prague.

Despite rarely featuring for the club at all during the 2009–10 season, Salifou was named in caretaker manager Kevin MacDonald's 22-man Premier League squad for 2010–11.

On 27 May, Aston Villa announced that Salifou was one of a number of players who was released by the club after their contracts expired.
