Olanrewaju Olusegun Mark Bamidele "Lanre" Oyebanjo (born 27 April 1990) is a professional footballer who plays as a defender.

Oyebanjo started his career with West Ham United's youth system and after being released joined Waltham Forest in 2006. He spent one season with the Isthmian League Division One North club before joining League Two team Brentford in 2007. Having not made any first-team appearances for Brentford, Oyebanjo dropped into the Conference Premier with Histon in 2008. He helped Histon to the play-off semi-final in his first season, but after their relegation to the Conference South in 2011 he remained in the Conference Premier with York City. Oyebanjo scored York's second goal in their 2012 FA Trophy Final victory and then played in the 2012 Conference Premier play-off Final, which the team won to earn promotion to League Two. Having been voted York's Clubman of the Year for the 2013–14 season, he signed for League One team Crawley Town in 2014. They were relegated to League Two in 2014–15, and Oyebanjo was released a year later. He returned to York in 2016, who were newly relegated to the National League, before being released a year later.
