The Sankuru River is a major river in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Its approximate length of 1,200 km[1] makes it the longest tributary of Kasai River.

In the upper course it is also known as Lubilash.[1] It flows northwards and then westwards crossing through a few towns, most notably Mbuji-Mayi and Lusambo. Then it enters the Kasai River near Bena-Bendi, at Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found..
