Mame Alassane Niang (born 28 January 2006) is a Senegalese footballer who plays as a striker for Porto.

Born in Ndatte,[1] he joined the academy Diambars FC at the age of 12. He earned his first professional contract aged 18, when he was signed by Norwegian second-tier club Lyn.[2] His first Lyn goals came for the B team, helping secure promotion from the 2024 Fourth Division.[3][4] His first 1. divisjon goal came in March 2025.[5]

On the last day of the 2026 winter transfer window, Hamarkameratene signed Niang on a loan with an option to buy.[6] He soon stood out as a breakthrough player of the 2026 Eliteserien, scoring 4 goals in his first 4 games.[7]
