Presnel Kimpembe (born 13 August 1995) is a French professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Qatar Stars League club Qatar SC.

A product of the Paris Saint-Germain Youth Academy, Kimpembe made his debut for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in 2014. With PSG, he went on to win eight Ligue 1 titles, numerous domestic cup competitions, and a UEFA Champions League title. Several long-term injuries in the later years of his spell at PSG led to his eventual departure for Qatar SC in 2025.
