Bembe (Kibeembe) is a Bantu language of Congo-Brazzaville. It is closely related to Kikongo.

Maho (2009) considers Beembe, Kamba-Doondo, and Gangala (or Hangala, Gaangala, Haangala) to be distinct languages.

It should not be confused with the Bembe language (Ibembe) spoken in Congo-Kinshasa and Tanzania.
