Mpulungu is a town in the Northern Province of Zambia, at the southern tip of Lake Tanganyika. It is (not quite) landlocked Zambia's only port.

From Mpulungu, boats reach DR Congo, Tanzania and Burundi. The MV Liemba ferry sails from Mpulungu to Kasanga and Kigoma in western Tanzania, with connections from there to Bujumbura.

Mpulungu is also a fishing port and lies at the end of the old Great North Road.
