Jabu Khanyile (1957 – 11 November 2006) was a South African musician and lead vocalist from the band Bayete.

In 1996 he won the Kora award for best Southern African artist. He performed internationally with Youssou N'Dour, Angelique Kidjo and Papa Wemba. He was known for his Pan-Africanist approach to music, attempting to unite different African styles.

He died in 2006 after a battle with diabetes and prostate cancer. [ [http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&click_id=139&art_id=vn20061113023801483C974181 Musician Jabu Khanyile dies of cancer] , IOL, 12 November 2006]
