Marc-Antoine Fortuné (born 2 July 1981) is a French professional footballer who plays as a striker. He currently plays for Southend United.
Fortuné started his professional career at Angoulême in 1998, switching to Lille in 2002. He spent the 2003–04 season on loan to Rouen and switched permanently to Stade Brest in July 2004. He spent a single season at Stade Brest, moving to Utrecht in 2005. He joined AS Nancy in January 2007, also spending a six-month loan spell at West Bromwich Albion from January 2009 until the end of the 2009–10 season. He joined Celtic in July 2009 before rejoining West Brom in August 2010, this time on a permanent deal. He spent a month on loan to Doncaster Rovers in 2011, then joining Wigan Athletic in July 2013. He joined Coventry in September 2015. He joined Southend United in September 2016
As a child, Fortuné played both football and basketball, but gave the latter up at the age of 12 due to scheduling conflicts.
At age 16 Fortuné was given a trial by the French club Rennes. He was not offered a contract, but instead signed for lower-league team Angoulême. He broke into the Angoulême side in the 1999–2000 season and had a successful start, scoring three goals in ten appearances before the end of the campaign. At the end of the 2000–01 season, Fortuné propelled the club out of the Championnat de France amateur and into the Championnat National, the third tier of French football. His continued goalscoring form and overall performance during this and the following season caused much speculation over his future with media reports constantly linking him with many Ligue 1 clubs. In the following summer, Fortuné joined Ligue 1 side Lille. In all, Fortuné made a total of 63 league appearances for Angoulême, scoring 18 goals.
