Christophe Taine (born 12 December 1973) is a French former professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder. He is currently the manager of Paris FC Championship National. Taine represented 14 different clubs during a 12-year playing career, never spending more than one season at a single club.

Playing career
Taine began his playing career in 1993 with Ligue 2 side Beauvais. He made four senior appearances for the club but was released midway through the 1993–94 season and subsequently joined National 1 Group A outfit Fécamp. Here, Taine scored 6 goals in 15 league matches but was not retained at the end of the campaign and he signed for National 1 Group B side Troyes in the summer of 1995. A record of 14 goals in 27 appearances for Troyes earned Taine a move back to professional football with Amiens SC the following summer. He netted twice in 22 Ligue 2 appearances during the 1995–96 season, but was released in the summer of 1996.

A return to the National 1 with Paris FC followed and Taine played 13 matches for the team, scoring 7 times. However, he left halfway through the season and signed for National 2 Group D club Levallois. During the remainder of the 196–97 campaign he scored 3 goals in 14 matches. Taine joined Championnat National side Sedan in July 1997 and went on to play 25 matches for the Ardennes-based club, netting on four occasions. He transferred to Istres the following summer, and again spent a single season with the side, during which he scored twice in 23 appearances.

Taine signed for Championnat de France amateur (CFA) Group C outfit Limoges at the start of the 1999–2000 season. Despite scoring 5 goals in his first 9 games, he left the club to return to Levallois, who had since been relegated to the Championnat de France amateur 2 (CFA 2). In the summer of 2000, Taine made a return to the Championnat National with Olympique Noisy-le-Sec.
