Nathan Ngoy (born 10 June 2003) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays for Ligue 1 club Lille and the Belgium national team.

Originally from Molenbeek, Nathan Ngoy started playing football in the street with friends, and showing natural talent joined FC Brussels as a schoolboy in the early 2010s, only for the club to fold. Ngoy moved to the Anderlecht academy, before joining Standard Liège in 2019. Along with fellow defender Allan Delferrière, Mbaye Leye started selecting Ngoy in the professional squad at the end of the 2020–21 season.

He made his professional debut for Standard Liège on 22 May 2021, during the last match of the Division 1A season against Oostende. Despite the 1–3 home loss, Ngoy was among the few bright spot for Standard, playing the whole game as a central defender and stopping several goal occasions from Oostende.

The young defender subsequently signed his first professional contract with the club from Liège, tying him to the Standard until 2024. Appearing as one of the most promising prospect of Belgian football, he entered the 2021–22 season challenging for a place in the professional squad as a center-back, along with other youngster Ameen Al Dakhil.

Ngoy's first professional goal was the winner to complete a comeback from 2–0 down to beat eternal rivals Anderlecht in a Belgian Clasico contest at the Sclessin on 22 October 2023.

On 24 July 2025, Ngoy joined Lille in France for four years.

Of Congolese descent, Nathan Ngoy is a youth international with Belgium at under-17 and under-19 level.

Ngoy earned his first call-up with the Under-21s for a 1–1 draw with Spain in November 2023, but did not come on.
