Bisangwa (died July 1896) was a Rwandan noble, chief, and a leading official of the Kingdom of Rwanda during the rule of Kings Kigeli IV Rwabugiri and Mibambwe IV Rutarindwa. He served as a royal advisor, head of the territory administered from Rubengera, military commander and head of the Ingangurarugo royal guard. Deemed a fair and effective notable, Bisangwa was highly regarded and eventually became one of the leaders of a royalist faction opposing the activities of Queen Mother Kanjogera. He was killed in combat during the Battle of Shangi, a border conflict between Rwanda and the Congo Free State. His demise contributed to the outbreak of a violent crisis and the eventual overthrow of Mibambwe IV Rutarindwa.
