Denguélé Region, Administrative region in northwestern Côte d'Ivoire.

The region spans 21,600 square kilometers of diverse terrain, containing mountains, agricultural lands, and numerous settlements across its northwestern position in Côte d'Ivoire.

Established in 1997 as an administrative division, the region underwent transformation in 2011 when it became part of the larger Denguélé District system.

The Malinké people form the primary population group in the region, maintaining their traditions while contributing to the area's cotton production activities.

The regional capital Odienné connects multiple departments including Madinani, Minignan, and Samatiguila through a network of administrative services and transportation routes.

The name Denguélé translates to 'single child' in Malinké language, referencing a solitary stone formation located on Mount Denguélé.
