Pierre Achille Webó Kouamo (born 20 January 1982) is a Cameroonian former professional footballer who played as a striker.

He spent eight years of his career in La Liga, totalling 227 matches for Osasuna and Mallorca and scoring 47 goals (in Spain he also represented Leganés). He also played in Uruguay and Turkey.

A Cameroon international in the 2000s, Webó appeared with the country in two World Cups and as many Africa Cup of Nations.

Born in Bafoussam, West Region, Webó started his professional career in Uruguay, playing three years with Club Nacional de Football, winning two Primera División titles – although he only was an important first-team member in his third season – and becoming top scorer of the 2002 edition of the Copa Sudamericana.

He moved to Europe in January 2003, signing with Segunda División club CD Leganés in the outskirts of Madrid, on loan from CA Osasuna.

In the summer of 2003, Webó returned to Osasuna, for whom he scored six goals in the 2005–06 campaign, being instrumental in the Navarrese side's fourth La Liga place and qualification for the UEFA Champions League, although they would ultimately be ousted by Hamburger SV prior to the group stage.

Webó's 2006–07 pre-season was hampered after he was forced to undergo treatment for malaria, but he went on to produce similar numbers in the league, adding two goals in nine games in the team's semi-final run in the UEFA Cup, including the match's only in a home tie against Rangers.

Webó moved to RCD Mallorca in 2007, spending most of his first season on the sidelines with an injury. He did manage five league goals.
