Andre-Pierre Christian Gignac is a French professional footballer who plays for Liga MX club Tigres UANL and the France national team.

He primarily plays as a striker whose influence can extend out to the wings. Gignac is described as a "powerful and dangerous" striker who is known for his "aerial presence". He is known personally by teammates and friends as simply Dede.

In 2007, he joined Toulouse, amid controversial circumstances. After early struggles, Gignac reached prominence during the 2008-09 season becoming the league's top scorer netting 24 goals. After a sub-par 2009-10 season with Toulouse, in August 2010, Gignac joined the defending champions Marseille on a five-year contract. He scored 77 goals in 186 games across all competitions for OM, winning two consecutive Coupe de la Ligue titles and the 2011 Trophee des Champions. On the expiration of his contract, he moved to Mexico to play for Tigres UANL. Gignac is a France international and made his debut with the team in April 2009 against Lithuania as a result of his good form with Toulouse. He scored his first international goal five months later against the Faroe Islands. Gignac made his first major international appearance for his country at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, featuring in all three matches the team contested. On 6 September 2013, Gignac made his first appearance for France in three years during a 0-0 draw with Georgia in qualification for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. On 13 November 2015, he scored France's second goal in a 2-0 home friendly victory over defending world champions Germany, a powerful header from a Blaise Matuidi cross. He was named in Didier Deschamps' squad for their hosting of UEFA Euro 2016.
