Destin Damachoua (born August 17, 1986) is a Central African-French basketball player who played for the University of New Orleans. He is also a member of the Central African Republic national basketball team.
Damachoua moved to the United States after his senior year of high school in France. He originally committed to Duquesne University out of the Master's School in West Simsbury, Connecticut in 2006, but never played for the team.

In his first season with the Privateers, Damachoua played primarily off the bench, averaging 2.3 PPG.
Damachoua played for the Central African Republic national basketball team at the 2005 and 2009 FIBA Africa Championship, helping the team to quarterfinal appearances at both tournaments.
