Nkayi

4°10′50″S 13°17′20″E / -4.18056, 13.28889 Nkayi est la ville principale de la région de la Bouenza, dans le centre sud de la République du Congo, à environ 250 km de la capitale Brazzaville.

Située à mi parcours du Chemin de fer Congo-Océan (CFCO), Nkayi est un des plus grands centres agro-industriels du pays grâce à sa compagnie sucrière, la S.A.R.I.S.

De sa création au milieu du XXe siècle au début années 1970, la ville s'est appelée Jacob, du nom du colon français qui la fonda.

Quatrième ville du pays, Nkayi est en pleine expansion du fait notamment de l'exode rural. Sa population est estimée à environ 50000 habitants.
