Ali Kamé (born 21 May 1984) is a Malagasy track and field athlete who competes in the decathlon. He won the gold medal at the 2012 African Championships in Athletics and was a bronze medallist at the 2011 All-Africa Games. His personal best of 7685 points is the Malagasy record and he is a three-time winner of the African Combined Events Championships.
Born in Namakia in Madagascar's Mitsinjo District, he began to compete internationally in the decathlon in 2007. A national record of 6564 points at the Multistars meeting was followed by a wind-assisted 6740 points in Arles. The 2007 All-Africa Games was his first outing for Madagascar and he placed seventh with a Malagasy record score of 7012 points.
He added a point to this tally at an African Combined Events meeting in Réduit in April 2008. At the 2008 African Championships in Athletics, held a month later, he came close to the podium with a fourth-place finish. He returned to the European circuit that year, but placed 21st at both the Multistars and Arles meets. The re-establishment of the African Combined Events Championships in Mauritius in 2009 saw him win his first regional title with a record mark of 7363 points. This proved to be his sole complete decathlon that year, as he failed to finish at his two regular European meets.
