Kongo Kuningriik (kongo keeles Kongo dya Ntotila või Wene wa Kongo, portugali keeles Reino do Congo) oli kuningriik Aafrika keskosas, tänapäeva Põhja-Angola, Lääne-Kongo DV ja Kongo Vabariigi aladel. Oma kõrgajal laius Kongo Kuningriik Atlandi ookeanist Kwango jõeni ja Kongo jõest Cuanza jõeni. Kuningriik koosnes provintsidest, mida valitsesid manikongod (portugalikeelne variant kongokeelsest tiitlist Mwene Kongo ehk "Kongo Kuningriigi valitseja"). Riigi mõjusfäär ulatus ka naaberriikidesse, nagu Ngoyo, Kakongo, Loango, Ndongo ja Matamba.

Kongo Kuningriik oli iseseisev u 1390–1862. Aastani 1914 oli riik sisuliselt Portugali vasall. Aastal 1914 surusid portugallased Kongo mässu maha ning kaotasid sealse monarhia. Kongo kuninga tiitel taastati aastal 1915 ning kuni 1975. aastani oli see reaalse võimuta tseremoniaalne tiitel. Kongo Kuningriigi alad liideti Portugali Angola, Belgia Kongo ja Cabinda Protektoraadiga. Aastal 1986 asutatud Bundu dia Kongo liikumine püüdleb Angolast, Kongo Demokraatlikust Vabariigist ja Kongo Vabariigist lahku löömise ja Kongo Kuningriigi taastamise poole.
