Dominique Rocheteau (French pronunciation: [dɔminik ʁɔʃəto]; born 14 January 1955 in Saintes, Charente-Maritime) is a former international football winger from France. He played in the final tournament of three World Cups, scoring at least a goal in each of them, and was part of the team that won the European Championship in 1984. At club level, he won 4 Division 1 titles, 3 Coupes de France and played in the 1976 European Champion Clubs' Cup final.
Rocheteau began his professional career with AS Saint-Étienne, when they were the most successful and popular football team in France. He was a sinuous and incisive outside right who was nicknamed l'Ange Vert ("The Green Angel"). Injured, he played only the last eight minutes of the 1976 European Champion Clubs' Cup final, which Saint-Étienne lost 1-0 to Bayern Munich. He won three Division 1 titles (1974–1976) and one Coupe de France (1977) with Saint-Étienne. He transferred to Paris Saint-Germain in 1980 with whom he won one Division 1 title (1986) and two Coupes de France (1982–1983). In 1987 he was transferred to Toulouse FC, for whom he played two seasons before retiring in 1989.
