Lumumbaville is a new city being developed in Sankuru province, in central Democratic Republic of Congo. It was created to honor the national and panafrican hero Patrice Lumumba, independence leader and first prime minister of the country, who was executed in 1961 during the Congo crisis.

As of January 2024, this largely undeveloped planned city, consisting of the town of Wembo-Nyama and the adjoining land and villages of the former Ewango grouping (fr.groupement), enjoys the full administrative and political stature of a city. Lumumba was born in the village of Onalua which is part of Ewango, and completed elementary school in Wembo-Nyama.^[1]
