Télimélé, Prefecture headquarters in Fouta Djallon highlands, Guinea.

Télimélé is a prefecture in the Fouta Djallon highlands of Guinea, serving as the administrative center for the surrounding region. It is divided into several local administrative divisions that allow residents to access basic services and handle local matters near their homes.

Guémé Sangan, a fortress of the Peul sovereign Koli Tenguella, stood at Télimélé. On 20 February 1888, Almamy Ibrahima Sori, son of Abdoul Gadiri, and Thierno Ibrahima, chief of Timbi Touni, ceded the fortress and the territory of Koli Tenguella's capital to the French negotiator Aimé Olivier de Sanderval on behalf of the Fouta Djallon theocratic state. Télimélé was still a small village in 1959 and became a prefecture capital by 1967, with 12,000 inhabitants.

Télimélé gave its name to the Loubha FC football club, which plays in Guinea's Ligue 1, and the town has a public radio station and a rural radio. Singers Binta Laly Sow and Lega Bah (Néné Gallè Bah) were born here, as was the economist and journalist Bachir Sylla in 1976.

The main medical facility is a district hospital at the center that provides basic health services for the surrounding population. Visitors and residents should note that services in remote areas may be limited.
