Stephane Jamoye (born October 5, 1989) is a Belgian professional boxer. He currently competes in the super bantamweight division, and is a former EBU bantamweight champion.

Jamoye started boxing at the age of 14, and was a national champion by 16. Overall, Jamoye compiled a 56-4 record in the amateur ranks.

Jamoye turned pro 20 days after his 18th birthday. After an impressive 12-0 start to his career, he received a shot at the WBC Youth World bantamweight title. He defeated fellow undefeated fighter Pungluang Sor Singyu on May 9, 2009 by split decision for the belt.

After five straight wins, Jamoye lost the title to another 19-year-old, Tomoki Kameda, via a controversial split decision on August 28, 2010 in Mazatlán. The fight was initially declared a draw, but the victory was then awarded to Kameda after a judge found an error on his scorecard. The WBC ordered a rematch to resolve the issue, but Kameda refused. It was also his first fight outside of Europe.

Jamoye fought Jamie McDonnell on January 22, 2011 in Doncaster, England for his EBU bantamweight belt, but lost the entertaining fight by majority decision. After a win by TKO over Tanzanian boxer Anthony Mathias, Jamoye fought American Léo Santa Cruz in Xalapa, Mexico on March 26, 2011. The fast-paced battle ended in the sixth round, when Santa Cruz hit Jamoye with a right hook to the body. The fight was also for the interim WBC Youth World bantamweight title.
