Arnold Makengo Mvuemba (born 28 January 1985) is a professional footballer who plays for FC Lorient as a midfielder.
Born in Alençon, Orne, France, Mvuemba was signed by Premier League team Portsmouth on loan from Stade Rennais in January 2007 until May 2007, with an option to complete a permanent deal. He made his debut against Blackburn Rovers on 25 February 2007, and scored his first Premier League goal on 9 April 2007 in a 4–2 defeat to Watford. On 3 July, Mvuemba signed a three-year contract with Portsmouth for an undisclosed fee. Mvuemba was part of Portsmouth's 2007–08 FA Cup-winning team. Despite not making the squad for the final he appeared in the earlier rounds. He scored against VfL Wolfsburg in the UEFA Cup but it was not enough to enable Portsmouth to remain in the competition. On 7 August 2009, Mvuemba signed a contract with FC Lorient after being released by Portsmouth.
He was signed by Lyon in summer 2012 for €3 million and €1 million variable. Mvuemba was released by Lyon at the end of the 2015–16 season.
Mvuemba made one appearance for the DR Congo national team in 2005.
Mvuemba plays in central midfield normally as a playmaker in an attacking role. He came to prominence playing in this position alongside holding midfielder Lassana Diarra (now at FC Lokomotiv Moscow) in the Toulon Tournament (U20) in July 2004.
