List of kings of Rwanda

This page contains a list of Kings ("Mwami", plural "Abami") of Rwanda. See also lists of incumbents, list of Presidents of Rwanda. Note that the only evidence for the existence of the earlier monarchs comes from oral history sources. Some historians believe them to be purely mythological.
