Fanizani Akuda (b. November 11, 1932) is a Zimbabwean sculptor.
A member of the Chewa tribe, Akuda came to Zimbabwe in 1949. He first worked as a farm foreman, becoming a contract bricklayer in 1960. In 1966 he was working as a farm manager and moved to Tengenenge. There he met Tom Blomefield, joining the Tengenenge Sculpture Community. Initially he was employed to dig serpentine. He began carving himself when Blomefield gave him tools to experiment with. He has since exhibited in Africa, Europe, and Australia.
