Kingsley Sambo (1936–1979) was a Rhodesian painter and cartoonist.

Sambo received training in the Bulawayo area before joining Frank McEwen's Workshop School in 1957; there he remained until 1973. A pioneer of easel painting in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), he served as a cartoonist for several African newspapers, and was also a jazz guitarist. He took his subjects mainly from everyday life.
