Marlin Kikeba Piana (born 17 July 1982) is a former Congolese footballer.
Piana began his career in France for Troyes AC in Ligue 1.
He was part of the Congolese 2004 African Nations Cup team, who finished bottom of their group in the first round of competition, thus failing to secure qualification for the quarter-finals.[2]
In February 2007, he was on trial at English Football League One side Leyton Orient.
In July 2009, Piana joined Northern Premier League side Ashton United but suffered a knee injury that ruled him out for the majority of the season.[3] He left the club in September 2010.
He later returned to Ashton United for a second spell.
