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.

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.{{cite web|url=https://www.itia.tennis/news/sanctions/five-french-tennis-players-sanctioned/|title=Five French tennis players sanctioned for historic Tennis Anti-Corruption Program breaches|publisher=International Tennis Integrity Agency|accessdate=5 April 2025}}{{cite web|url=https://www.michigansthumb.com/sports/article/5-low-ranked-french-tennis-players-receive-bans-20258796.php|title=5 low-ranked French tennis players receive bans for links to a match-fixing syndicate|publisher=Huron Daily Tribune|accessdate=5 April 2025}}{{cite web|url=https://sportstar.thehindu.com/tennis/match-fixing-scandal-in-tennis-one-player-banned-four-from-france-suspended-grigor-sargsyan/article69414004.ece|title=Match-fixing scandal in tennis — Who are the players punished?
