Madingi Tembe was a late 18th-century prince of the Tembe Kingdom and the founder of the inland Tembe royal line from where Prince Makhuza Tembe descended. Prince Madingi governed the inland Tembe territories during the reigns of his father, King Mwayi Tembe and (later) his brother, King Makasana Tembe.

Both Prince Madingi and King Makasana are regarded as the most prominent among the many children of King Mwayi.
