Bondo is a town in north-central Democratic Republic of the Congo, in what will be Bas-Uele Province, about 200 km north-west of Buta. Bondo lies mainly on the north bank of the Uele River, and a branch line of the now-defunct Vicicongo narrow gauge railway terminates on the south bank. The town has an airstrip, but is relatively inaccessible by other means as it is served only by earth tracks impassable after rain, with river crossings made by small ferries. Navigation on the Uele is restricted by cataracts.

Bondo is a base for reaching the Bili Forest lying on an earth track going east from the town. The Bili chimpanzee found in the forest has in the past been called the 'Bondo Mystery Ape'.
