Olivier Occéan (French pronunciation: [ɔlivje ɔkseɑ̃]), born October 23, 1981) is a retired Canadian professional soccer player and current assistant coach of IF Urædd.

Occéan then faced the challenge of living up to the price tag and in the 2007 and 2008 seasons, the muscular striker bagged in 12 goals for the club.

[13] On January 6, 2015, Occéan signed a half-year loan deal with his former club Odd, who plays in the Norwegian Eliteserien.
Occéan made his debut for Canada in a May 2004 friendly match against Wales and until the end of 2012 he has earned a total of 28 caps, scoring six goals.
