Astou Barro Ndour (born August 22, 1994) is a Spanish-Senegalese professional basketball player.
Ndour was born in Dakar, Senegal on August 8, 1994. Both of her parents had been basketball players. She was a stand-out basketball player at her school in Dakar. Ndour and her family moved to Las Palmas, Canary Islands when she was 14. She continued to play basketball for her school's team in Las Palmas.
Ndour joined the youth system of Gran Canaria in 2009. She also played in the Junior Spanish Championship that year. Ndour became a naturalized Spanish citizen in 2011. She was a part of the Spanish youth team that won the silver medal at the 2011 FIBA Under-19 World Championship for Women where she nearly averaged a double-double. As a member of the Spanish Youth National Team, Ndour's teams always won a medal in each tournament she played, including the bronze medal at the Under-18 European Championship for Women.
Ndour started to play with the Spain women's national basketball team on 2014 when she was 20 years old, although she couldn't play the 2014 FIBA World Championship for Women, since Spain opted to take Sancho Lyttle, and FIBA Regulations establish that only one naturalized player per roster can participate in national teams competitions.
In 2015, she was part of the Spanish roster that won the Bronze medal at the EuroBasket Women 2015 in Hungary and Romania. Ndour was acquired from the San Antonio Stars by the Chicago Sky in exchange for Clarissa Dos Santos in February 2017. In May 2017, Ndour was suspended by the Sky after not reporting to the team.
