Cabinda (formerly called Portuguese Congo, Kongo: Kabinda) is an exclave and province of Angola, a status that has been disputed by several political organizations in the territory. The capital city is also called Cabinda, known locally as Tchiowa. The province is divided into four municipalities: Belize, Buco-Zau, Cabinda and Cacongo.

Note: The province of Cabinda is unique in being separated from the rest of the country by a strip, some 60 kilometres (37 miles) wide, of the Democratic Republic of Congo along the lower Congo River.
