The Inkisi River ({{langx|sw|Mto Inkisi}}, French: Rivière Inkisi) is the last (closest to the rivermouth) of the larger tributaries of the great Congo River, being the first south bank (left side) tributary, located in Western Central Africa.{{cite book |title=Research on Hydropower Development and Delivery in Congo River |date=April 6, 2020 |publisher=Springer |isbn=9789811534287 |page=14}}

The township of Zongo is situated close to the confluence with the Congo River, where there is a hydro power plant and a bridge.{{cite book |editor1-last=Saul |editor1-first=Bernard |title=The Columbia Gazetteer of the World: A to G |date=2008 |publisher=Columbia University Press |page=1682}}
