Haut-Uele Province in the Democratic Republic of Congo is one of the provinces planned by the May 2005 constitution. It is part of the current Orientale Province. Its capital will be Isiro, the largest city in the area.

The province gets its new name (which, in French, means "upper Uele") from the Uele, the major river that runs through it.
