Aimé-Romarin Billong (born June 11, 1970) is a Cameroonian former professional footballer who played as a defender. His brother Silas is also a former footballer.[2]

Born in Moundou, Chad, Billong played for the Cameroon national team and a few clubs in France. In October 1999 he signed for Premier League side West Ham United to play under Harry Redknapp. However, he never made a first team appearance for the club.[3]

He was a participant at the 1998 African Cup of Nations, playing in the group match against Burkina Faso and the quarterfinal against Congo DR.[4] Billong also represented Cameroon during 1998 World Cup qualifiers,[5] but he was not included in the 22-man squad for the final tournament in France.

He holds both Cameroonian and French nationalities.[6]
