Bangime (/ˌbæŋɡiˈm/; bàŋɡí–mɛ̀, or, in full, Bàŋgɛ́rí-mɛ̀) is a language isolate spoken by 3,500 ethnic Dogon in seven villages in southern Mali, who call themselves the bàŋɡá–ndɛ̀ ("hidden people").

Bangande is the name of the ethnicity of this community. The Bangande consider themselves to be Dogon, but other Dogon people insist they are not.
