Lonrho is a London-based conglomerate with operations primarily focused on Africa. The company was established in 1998 as Lonrho Africa plc following a corporate demerger from Lonmin, and operates across multiple sectors including agribusiness, infrastructure, transport, hospitality, and support services.

Although it shares its name with the earlier mining-focused Lonrho plc (now Lonmin), the present-day Lonrho is a distinct corporate entity formed to hold and manage non-mining African assets.
