Marie Aurelle Awona (born 2 February 1993) is a Cameroonian football player who plays as a defender for French club Dijon FCO and the Cameroon national team.

Born in Yaoundé, Cameroon in 1993, she arrived in France at the age of six. Awona could have chosen to play for France internationally, and was a part of the France U19 team, but instead chose to represent Cameroon at senior level.[2]

On 28 May 2015, she was selected in Cameroon's 23-player squad for 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup.[3] After not playing the first two matches she made her FIFA Women's World Cup debut on 16 June 2015 in a 2–1 win against Switzerland in the last group stage match. She also started the next match in the Round of 16 against China.[4]
