Bikwaphi Khumalo (c.1860s - 1939) was a member of the Khumalo clan in Southern Africa and Queen regent of Embhuleni from 1922 until 1931 when her son Prince James Maquba Dlamini was installed as Chief of Embhuleni. She was the niece of Queen Gogo LaMagadlela and was incorporated into the Embhuleni royal household as part of succession arrangements within King Mswati II’s dynastic line.
She was the daughter of Gogo LaMagadlela's younger brother, Ndebe Khumalo, from Mkhondo. The two Khumalo women were from King Mzilikazi KaMashobane's lineage and married into the Kingdom of Eswatini to continue the royal Swazi lineage.
