Kamatanda is a region just north of Likasi in the Haut-Katanga Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
It gives its name to an open-pit copper mine, a railway junction, an abandoned airport and a residential area of Likasi. The Sanga people mined copper at Kamatanda in the pre-colonial period.

In 1966 possession passed to the state-owned Gécamines.
