The Battle of Pungo Andongo, also known as the siege of Pungo Andongo was a military engagement in what is today Angola between Portugal and the Kingdom of Ndongo (Andongo in Portuguese) whose capital, Pungo Andongo, also known as Pedras Negras, was besieged. After a nine-month encirclement, the capital was taken by storm, plundered and occupied by the Portuguese.

The entire royal family of Andongo was captured, and the Portuguese built a fort on Pungo Andongo. The Kingdom of Andongo therefore ceased to exist.
