Prince Oniangué (born 4 November 1988 in Paris) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for English club Wolverhampton Wanderers, and the Congo national team.
Oniangué joined the youth system at Rennes in 2005 from Caen and made his senior debut in 2008. On 31 July 2009 Rennes announced that Oniangué would join Ligue 2 side Angers on loan for the 2009–10 season. He left Rennes and joined Ligue 2 club Tours on 6 August 2010, signing a three year contract. On 4 June 2013 Oniangué agreed to join Ligue 1 side Reims on a three year contract. In December 2014 he extended his contract at the club until 2019.
On 15 August 2016, Oniangué signed a four-year contract with English Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers for an undisclosed fee. He made his club debut on 20 August 2016 coming on as a substitute in a 3-1 win against Birmingham City. He scored his first goal for the club on 10 September 2016 in a 1-1 draw against Burton Albion.
After falling out of favour with recently appointed Wolves head coach Paul Lambert, on 16 January 2017, Oniangué joined Ligue 1 club Bastia for the rest of the 2016/17 season.
Oniangué made his debut for the Congo national team in a 2010 World Cup qualifying match against Sudan on 11 October 2008.
On 21 January 2015, Oniangué scored the only goal of a 2015 Africa Cup of Nations group match against Gabon to give Congo its first win at the Africa Cup of Nations since 1974.
