Mokèlé-mbèmbé, meaning " one who stops the flow of rivers " in the Lingala language is a legendary water-dwelling creature of Congo River basin folklore, sometimes described as living creature, sometimes as a spirit, and loosely analogous to the Loch Ness Monster in Western culture.

It is claimed to be a sauropod by some cryptozoologists.
