Jean-Yves M'voto Owono (born 6 September 1988) is a French footballer, born in Paris, who plays as a defender for Scottish Championship side Raith Rovers. He has also appeared for English teams Oldham Athletic, Barnsley, Leyton Orient & Polish team Zawisza Bydgoszcz.
M'voto joined Sunderland on a 3 1⁄2-year contract for an undisclosed fee on 15 January 2008. On 7 August 2009, M'voto signed a six-month loan with Southend United.
On 12 January 2010, M'voto extended his loan with Southend until the end of the season. He scored his first goal for Southend in a 2–2 draw with future club Oldham Athletic on 24 April 2010.
On 5 August 2010 he, along with team mate Oumare Tounkara, joined Oldham Athletic on a season-long loan. He scored his first Oldham goal on 30 October 2010 in a 4–2 victory over Plymouth Argyle. After being virtually ever present for the team he injured his ankle and Oldham cancelled the remainder of his loan in January 2011. However, on 18 March 2011, after regaining full fitness, Oldham Athletic re-signed the defender on loan from Sunderland until the end of the season. On 7 April Sunderland announced that he was amongst eight players to be released at the end of the season.
On 30 June 2011, Oldham Athletic announced that M'voto had signed a two-year contract with the club, despite interest from other clubs.
M'voto signed a two-year contract with Championship club Barnsley on 23 July 2013.
After leaving Barnsley in the summer of 2015, he spent some time without a club before signing on a two-month contract with League Two club Leyton Orient on 20 November 2015. On 20 January 2016, Leyton Orient announced that M'voto would be departing the club at the conclusion of his two-month deal.
