Mossendjo (can also be written as Mosenjo or Mosendjo) is a town and a commune^[1] located in the Niari Department of the Republic of the Congo.

It is divided into 2 urban boroughs (arrondissements):

1. Bouali
2. Itsibou

The town lies on the Mbinda branch of the Congo railway system.^{[citation needed]}

Mossendjo is a city of almost 20,000 people. It is the regional hub city of the Chaillu Massif mountainous region, north of Dolisie and south of Mayoko and Mbinda. The infrastructure of Mossendjo has been improved since 2006, owing to the Congo government's program of revitalizing Mossendjo and Dolisie. New streets and sewage drainage systems have been constructed in both cities.^{[citation needed]}

Mossendjo Airport has regularly scheduled airline service to Pointe Noire and Brazzaville, via Air Maouene. Road access to Dolisie and Mayoko still is via rough, sometimes graded dirt roads. The region has cell phone coverage service by TelCel. ^{[citation needed]}

Logging has been a primary industry in the Mossendjo-Mbinda sector. Some mineral explorations for iron, gold and diamonds occur throughout the department but no commercial mines are in production. Little agricultural production occurs in the Mossendjo-Mbinda sector apart from gathering of bananas and local forest fruits. ^{[citation needed]}
