Mamadou Diaw (born 2 January 2001) is a Senegalese professional football midfielder who plays for Keflavík.

He travelled to Ålesund in the early spring of 2020 for a two or three week trial at Aalesunds FK. The subsequent COVID-19-related lockdown closed the opportunity for Diaw to return to Senegal. He was accepted as a student at Ålesund Folk High School and continued training. Aalesund eventually desired to sign him, and finally cleared the paperwork in October 2020.[1]

Diaw made his Eliteserien debut in October 2020 against Haugesund, one of the few games Aalesund won. Following relegation he became a semi-regular in the 2021 1. divisjon, and scored his first goal in the 2021 Norwegian Football Cup against Ranheim.
