Pablo Thiam (born 3 January 1974 in Conakry) is a retired Guinean football defensive midfielder. He holds a German passport.

Thiam grew up as the son of a Guinean diplomat in the former German capital Bonn. He started his football career in MSV Bonn. At the age of 15, he went to 1. FC Köln, for whom he debuted in the Bundesliga in 1994. Via VfB Stuttgart, Thiam moved to FC Bayern Munich in 2001. However, he had a hard time getting first-team football at his new club.
