The Bight of Bonny (also known as the Bight of Biafra) is a bight off the African coast in the Gulf of Guinea. It extends from the river delta of the Niger in the north till Cape Lopez in Gabon.

The bight was renamed in Nigeria in 1972, when after the Biafran War, the Nigerian government wanted to remove the name of the secessionist Biafra. People who still consider themselves Biafrans live in various parts of the world today.

Countries located at the Bight of Bonny are Nigeria, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea (including Annobon), São Tomé and Príncipe and Gabon.
